I make this the third of a series of articles by Andy McCarthy on the subject of defunding Obamacare. These three articles represent the clearest thinking that I have encountered on the subject.

We all know that low information voters have absolutely no interest in the constitutional foundation upon which this republic rests and to them Andy McCarthy's cogent analysis might as well not have been written. But there are some things which come from the bottom up and some things which trickle down from the top.

A political campaign cannot ultimately succeed if it is grounded on nothing more than counting noses, it must first have intellectual integrity which provides the indispensable foundation upon which an emotional appeal can be launched. Andy McCarthy here provides the intellectual and constitutional foundation so necessary for a political campaign to prosper.

We are fortunate in Ted Cruz that we have a man leading this cause who is fully grounded in the Constitution and who is fortunately fully in accord with Andy McCarthy's analysis. More, he can reach beyond a dry constitutional analysis and speak a language to low information voters which they can understand and, crucially, appeal to their emotions.

In other words, first we find out what's constitutional and then we tell them why it's good.
