They will challenge the constitutionality of the bill because you cannot have a law that is not voted on by Congress - as explicitly said in the Constitution. No previous Congress has ever said that it's passed a bill when it hasn't. The reason the politicians are lying and scheming as they try to get Obamacare passed, is because they realize the American people are against it on higher levels than ever before. Mark also discusses Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky's comments on healthcare and says she is a prime example of a politician that is out of touch with what is going on. </i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-78806939543654386422010-03-17T19:34:51.874-04:002010-03-17T19:34:51.874-04:00He cain't hep himself; he fell off his skatebo...He cain't hep himself; he fell off his skateboard when he was young (he didn't land on his tail.)<br /><br />The reason we call him pineapple-head has nothin to do with him livin in Havaee. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52414037367089238582010-03-17T19:18:58.002-04:002010-03-17T19:18:58.002-04:00"...Mr. Socialist Running Dog?"
