Some of you believe that it is unconstitutional. You are wrong until the Supreme Court says you are right. Unfortunately statute and case law will force even the conservative justices into a 9-0 vote to uphold the health insurance law. I will remind you all of this when that happens.
This is the same weak argument that spidey tried to use. It is your contention that whether something is truly constitutional is not dependent on whether the actual Constitution says it is but how a judge interprets it? You understand that that would mean anything and everything is constitutional until the court says otherwise, right? That doesn't seem a bit backwards to you?

So your answer is the supreme court says what is constitutional, not the constitution itself? Final answer?

You don't say what is constitutional, bern. Only the Supreme Court does. End of story.
There are people who believe that the internet is a right. Coming soon,,,free internet for all! Well not exactly free - only for those that make less than 88K.." "But its for the children!"
I still have yet to receive a reasonable answer to this in light of the passage of the health care bill.
One person (spiderman) tried to weasel it into be constitutional under the 16th ammendment 'rationalizing' that since government is granted the power to tax income they can make requirements of the peope as long as they levy an income tax penalty for non-compliance. That of course is rather ludicrous.

And they can't hate poor kids?
I do not disriminate based on socioeconomic status when it comes to hating children, And I teach very few "childen" Most of my kids are over 18 and several are parents - some lovable and some hatable. Just like the rest of the world.. Oh and even the "poor" ones have access to porn. Don't you be worryin bout dat spidey. Lol
Bern, no one is dodging anything. You can believe whatever you want, that's your right as an American, and a number of us on the Board paid a price for you to do just that. So go for it. But it is the Supreme Court, not you, that decides what is constitutional. Doesn't matter if you don't like it, that is the truth.

I never said I get to decide what is constitutional. I quite clearly stated the Constitution tells us what is constitutional. I of course can have an opinion whether something is or is not constitutional based on what the document says and what I know about those that wrote it. I can have an opinion just as the supreme court has an OPINION on the matter. The difference here is I believe in absolute truth and you apparently don't. I can differentiate between what IS constitutional and what the supreme court OPINES is constitutional. You apparently can not.
And yes your are dodging as you have failed to confront the ramifications of your position:
That such a stance renders any and all legislation made by congress constitutional until someone challenges it.
That the supreme court is always correct when it decides whether something is constitutional. Problems really abound from that one such as the convenience of circular logic and the fact that every SC decision would have to be unanimous for it to be true.
It would mean that the constitution is a living document that would need to be changed based on the rulings of the Supreme Court which is not how the document is supposed to be lawfully modified. If you want an extreme example it would mean if the Supreme Court decided woman didn't have the right to vote, disallowing women from voting would not be constitutional based on your ridiculous argument that the Supreme Court said so.
And last but not least the question of the thread which no one seems to be able to come up with a reasonable answer for.
