A Constitutional Crisis

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

That is a jaw-dropping statement coming from the Speaker of the House. The Constitution of the United States was specifically designed to limit government. "Progressives", including President Obama, have long chafed under this "obstacle" as it reigned in their dreams to use government to remake society in the way they thought best instead of letting each person pursue happiness as they saw fit. What is so disturbing about the above quote from Nancy Pelosi is that it makes clear that the Democrats have now dispensed with even the pretense that they are considering the Constitution and are moving ahead with the New National Order with impunity.

The November 2010 election is really about those who acknowledge Constitutional limits on government and those who do not. The term "Progressive" is a misnomer - such people are really for unrestricted state power to do what they want under the cover of governmental action; to favor whom they will; to arbitrarily decide who we are, what we think, and how we will behave. This is an idea much older than the Constitution and one that the Constitution sought to change in this country by making the United States a government of laws, not men, with the cardinal principle that no one is above the law. Not even Nancy Pelosi and her ilk.
