>> Yesterday we celebrated Constitution Day across the country, so the subject has been on my mind (schools are required by law to celebrate it). Now as everyone knows, the U.S. congress recently enacted major health care reform (all Americans are required to purchase healthcare, etc.). During the debate over health care, Nancy Pelosi was asked by a reporter where congress gets its constitutional authority to enact something as massive as health care, she screeched “are you serious!, are you serious!”. She then turned to another reporter to change the subject. Latter, a Pelosi spokesperson responded that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a "serious question." “You can put this on the record,” said the spokesperson. “That is not a serious question.

Now, I normally don’t get riled up about political issues in an attempt to stay unbias, but this one has really sent me over the top. I don’t care what side of the health care debate your on (both sides have at least some legitimate arguments), or what side of the political spectrum you reside, but to state, unequivocally, that it doesn’t matter where congress's constitutional authority to exercise a certain power comes from is the most absurd, idiotic thing I have heard in long time. Arguably, we have moved far away from our founding principles and from common sense. See the story at the link below:
