(CNSNews.com) – Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) would not say what part of the Constitution grants Congress the power to force every American to buy health insurance--as all of the health care overhaul bills currently do. Leahy, whose committee is responsible for vetting Supreme Court nominees, was asked by CNSNews.com where in the Constitution Congress is specifically granted the authority to require that every American purchase health insurance. Leahy answered by saying that “nobody questions” Congress’ authority for such an action. CNSNews.com: "Where, in your opinion, does the Constitution give specific authority for Congress to give an individual mandate for health insurance?" Sen. Leahy: "We have plenty of authority. Are you saying there is no authority?" CNSNews.com: "I’m asking--" Sen. Leahy: "Why would you say there is no authority? I mean, there’s no question there’s authority. Nobody questions that."



Wrong, butthead.

But then again, just because it's unconstitutional has never stopped you guys before.
All one has to do these days is look at the White House...

For posterities sake, I will say it:

THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT TO MANDATE THAT U.S. Citizens buy ANYTHING.
