quite the constitutional scholar Prissy is... NOT!!!I’m shocked Chrissy in the video didn’t mention if this ‘discovery’ gave him a ‘tingle’ up his leg.
I’m a high school drop out and I know its unconstitutional.
I can’t wait to see the looks on these so called “journalists” faces when this thing is deemed unconstitutional.
It will be priceless.
Stick to what you are good at Chris....licking Obama’s boots.
As do all liberals, especially those on TV. Can the liberals just give an honest statement? Not on MSNBC!
I’m pretty surprised to learn that Chris Matthews can remember how to breathe air.
Up till now the only thing Little Chrissie knew that was unconstitutional was keeping and bearing arms....
Had Matthews and the other so-called "progressives" understood the essential ideas of liberty expounded by Madison, Jay and Hamilton in those essays, they would not have "trouble" understanding why this mandate is "unconstitutional."
If one uses as a standard the intellectual arguments articulated in the debates of the 1787 Convention, and among the participants debating ratification of the proposed U. S. Constitution throughout the States in 1787-88, then what an embarrassing look into the mind and thought process of current Justice Kagan in some of her questions and statements!
Justice Breyer's nonsensical musings, when combined with those of Justice Kagan, should alarm every citizen who cherishes the Constitution's underlying principles, as articulated and explained by America's Founders and Framers of that Constitution's protections for liberty.
My post from another thread related to Kagan:
"Kagan: "'The exact same argument so, so that really reduces to the question of: why is a big gift from the federal government a matter of coercion?
"'In other words, the federal government is here saying: we’re giving you a boatload of money. There are no, is no matching funds requirement. There are no extraneous conditions attached to it.
"'It’s just a boatload of federal money for you to take and spend on poor people’s healthcare. It doesn’t sound coercive to me, I have to tell you.'"
This statement tells us everything we need to know about Justice Kagan's concept of "coercive power" versus "individual liberty" and the Constitution's protections for the latter.
America's Founders viewed "government" as "coercive" by nature.
America's Founders understood that "government" creates no money, has no money, and cannot "gift" money without first "taking" it from someone--a "coercive" act in itself.
Besides, this "boatload of money" is not "federal money." It is "the People's" money, and who is naive or uninformed enough to believe that "taking" it from the people, sending it to Washington, and then doling it out to the States is an efficient way to provide "poor people's health care"????
Oh, how far we have come from the genius and wisdom which gave birth to America's Constitution, America's liberty for all, and America's prosperity and greatness!!!
I hope that these members of the Supreme Court will understand that future generations of Americans and individuals all over the world, given the new technologies which enable them to study the Founders' ideas, will judge them by the Framers' standards, not by the standards of the so-called "progressive" politicians in this Administration.
"Ideas have Consequences" (Weaver). America's Founders' ideas produced freedom, opportunity, prosperity and plenty for hundreds of millions of oppressed people.
The "progressives'" ideas of redistribution (socialism) have produced approaching tyranny and oppression, mediocrity, and want, in every society where they have been tried.
Chris, I’m pretty surprised you have the capacity to learn anything.
Surprise me when it’s a done deal. I’m not counting any chickens before they’re hatched.
He meant Morning Constitution.
Pray for America
Chrissy was dreaming liberal goons could force all of us to buy a Volt.... I’m sure he thinks that’s constitutional too...
CHRIS MATTHEWS; I’m pretty surprised to learn that the mandate might be unconstitutional
It would surprise him if the Gov. told him he had to buy a Chevy even if he didn’t want one.
He has tingling up his leg.
I’m not at all surprised that the liberal media is surprised at the obvious. They are flat earthers who are so tunnel visioned they can’t see anything but the path up the bum of big government.
I’m not at all surprised that Chrissy is surprised.
To call that dolt uninformed and ignorant is to be kind.
quite the constitutional scholar Prissy is... NOT!!!Only the ignorant and/or stupid would be “surprised”.
