re: #418 avanti

Why do some conservatives keep wanting to amend the constitution they so love ? Here’s a proposal for one dealing with health care :

” THE FEDERALISM RESTORATION AMENDMENT
The legislative power of Congress shall not be construed to include mandating, regulating, prohibiting or taxing the private health insurance of any person; nor shall the power of Congress to make all laws which are necessary and proper to regulate commerce among the several states be construed to include the power to mandate, regulate, prohibit or tax any activity that is confined within a single state and subject to the police power thereof, regardless of the activity’s economic effects outside the state, whether it employs instrumentalities therefrom, or whether its regulation or prohibition is part of a comprehensive federal regulatory scheme.”

This is starting to look like one of those old cartoons where the guy destroys his house trying to swat a fly, innit?
