show me a quote where steamwake said that the constitution doesnt matter in regards to warrantless wire tapping or it didnt happen.
Mookie, read this statement carefully:
Nobody here is defending insurance companies or their abuses.
"we" want health care reform as bad as "you" do... in fact MY family DESPERATELY needs appropriate reform - however as the supreme court ruled in some similar cases in the past, the United States Congress does not have the authority to require citizens to purchase any particular good or service.
that, and that alone is what many of "us" take issue with.
lets solve health care... im on board with that, lets put our heads together and do the right thing here, lets come up with a good plan lets do this thing!!!
but hey... lets do it without forcing a mandate onto the people.
deal?
(probably not)
