125. Where in the Constitution are the Feds given the power to mandate that Citizens purchase anything?
Commerce Clause? Really?

~124 posts and no one has asked if the feds should be telling us what to buy.

Oh well, I'm sure that if the (R)'s had single payer advocates arrested and passed a mandate to purchase insurance from a for profit company without a public option and then claimed a lack of commerce was actually commerce everyone here that supports this would still support that. Absolutely sure! :D

And don't even *think* about complaining when the (R)s mandate the next big thing...And they will..
