The Perfect Constitutional Storm

The Perfect Constitutional Storm

The legal challenges to Obamacare will be interesting and, I sincerely believe, they will succeed.  The Constitution was designed to ensure that the Federal and State governments could co-exist in our Republic but, even more importantly, it was intended to protect the basic freedoms and unalienable rights of individuals who would live in the Republic.  The basic premise of the Constitution in protecting the unalienable individual rights of the citizenry lies in the truth that those basic rights were bestowed on We the People by the Supreme Being and the framers of the Constitution wanted to ensure that no government could trample on them.  They understood, even if our current crop of politicians do not, that there is no right that can truly be bestowed by any government for any right so created can be also revoked.  The Bill of Rights was created to ensure that the unalienable rights of We the People were not trampled upon by some future government because no government has the power to revoke them.  They can surely hold them hostage through tyranny, but they do not have the power to revoke them.

I believe that President Obama's knowledge of the Constitution is abysmal at best in that I have found only one statement about the Constitution made by President Obama which I hold correct: The Constitution is a negative document that tells the Government what it may not do.  But he goes terribly astray when he says that the Constitution should tell the Government what it should or must do for the people.  We do not need a Constitution that tells the Government what it should or must do for that is left to the will of We the People.  And that is as it should be.
