		<description>Regarding unwanted Obamacare, to begin with, Democrats are wrongly ignoring the following basic constitutional problem with their healthcare legislation.  Given the federal Constitution is silent about public healthcare, the 10th A. automatically reserves government power to regulate healthcare to the states, not the Oval Office and Congress.

In fact, the USSC has not only already decided that the federal government cannot lay taxes for issues that are rightly state power issues, but has also singled out medical practice as one such issue.  Here are some relevant case opinion excerpts.

&quot;Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.&quot; --Chief Justice Marshall, GIBBONS V. OGDEN, 1824.  http://supreme.justia.com/us/22/1/case.html

“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925. http://supreme.justia.com/us/268/5/case.html

Again, not only is Obamacare constitutionally unauthorized, but the corrupt Congress doesn&#039;t have the power to lay taxes to fund Obamacare.

Next, the Founder&#039;s intentions for a limited power federal government be damned, Democratic lawmakers are perverting the general welfare and Commerce clauses to force unconstitutional Obamacare down our throats; Article I, Section 8, Clauses 1 and 3 respectively.  This is evidenced by Thomas Jefferson&#039;s clear explanations of these clauses.  Here&#039;s Jefferson&#039;s comment about the Commerce clause, for example.

“For the power given to Congress by the Constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a State, (that is to say of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another State, or with foreign nations, or with the Indian tribes.” –Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson’s Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/bank-tj.asp

Note that Jefferson also explained the Founder&#039;s intentions for the general welfare clause at the above link.  Again, Jefferson&#039;s writings expose the Democratic perversions of these clauses.

What federal lawmakers are actually obligated to do to establish federal healthcare is this.  Given Congress no constitutional authority to regulate  healthcare, Article V requires Congress to propose an amendment to the states to voluntarily surrender their power to regulate healthcare to Congress; the states can always choose not to ratify such an amendment.  In fact, several healthcare related USSC case opinions clearly indicate that the states have never surrendered such power to Congress.

The bottom line is that the Congressmen who vote yes on Obamacare legislation will make a handy list of lawmakers who need to be charged with treason for blatantly violating their oaths to defend the Constitution.

Finally, the following words of Jefferson are appropriate for any official actions of the Oval Office and Congress which approve constitutionally unauthorized Obamacare.

“Where powers are assumed which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy.” –Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. http://tinyurl.com/oozoo</description>
