One reader of the Chillicothe Gazette may reveal exactly why so many "conservatives" think the health care bill is unconstitutional.
The argument is that health care does not appear anywhere in the constitution. That fact is correct. But neither do airplanes, railroads or oil.
Article I section 8 does strictly limit what Congress and the rest of the federal government can do. I appreciate efforts to hold the government to its job. It's a gross misunderstanding of the document, however, to say that if the thing does not mention a particular issue, that issue can not be addressed.
