This peach of a politician is also famous for Goading the Minuet Men saying on TV to one of them. "How many Illegals are you going to go out and kill today" and more recently is on record saying the Border is Very Secure.
But what I want to know is how many other liberals think the Federal Government can do "most anything"
The Woman then said "you sir, and people like you are Destroying this country" Just an average American who gets it. IMO

The scary thing is he may be right. IMO if none of the Law suits against Obamacare succeed. Then the Government will be able to do ALMOST anything under the commerce clause. After all with Health care they are claiming they can Make you buy something simply because you are not buying it. Under that logic they could use the commerce clause to massively expand the scope and power of the Federal government.
IMO if we lose these law suits against the unconstitutional Health care Bill. Federalism is Dead.

At a July 24 town hall meeting, a female attendee asked, (referring to the mandate in the federal health care bill passed earlier this year requiring Americans to purchase medical insurance), "If this legislation is constitutional, what limitations are there on the federal government's ability to tell us how to run our private lives?" With a brief appearance of that "deer in the headlights" look, Pete, to his credit gave only a somewhat half-assed answer. The same female attendee then had to very simply explain how enumerated powers work according to the United States Constitution: It spells out certain powers of the federal government and splits all other power with the states. She then asked how the legislation is constitutional, and if the federal government could make individuals purchase what is, for now, a completely voluntary service, what can't they do? The question was put even more bluntly: "Is your answer that they can do anything? Pete's response? "The federal government, yes, can do most anything in this country."
