    Congress needs to pass a 2/3 majority with the 50 State legislatures and amend the constitution if it wants to run health care in the manner described. I'm not against this, but the proper channels need to be followed. The current law is an unconstitutional Federal power grab and an abuse of the commerce clause regarding a matter that must be resolved by the people or the States respectively. I would support a vote to amend the constitution, but the constant assault on the separation of powers by many administrations needs to end. It degrades the legal legitimacy of the nation and supporters of the law need to check themselves.

    Remember when Congress amended the Constitution to allow a Federal income tax? That is a simple line that was put into the document enumerating a new power. We need to do it again and get back on track for a sustainable separation of powers. You must recognize that there is no limit to Federal abuses that use the commerce clause. The definition being used allows the Federal government to regulate and decide everything under the sun.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
