Thank you for referencing that article Up Yours Marxists. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at Sen. McConnell and not at you.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

What about your oaths to protect and defend the Constitution Sen. McConnell?

Regardless what activist justices, Democrats and RINOs in DC evidently want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, federal government “leaders” continue to ignore that the Supreme Court had previously clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.

”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

In fact, the Supreme Court has also clarified in general that powers not delegated to the feds by the states via the Constitution, the power to regulate intrastate healthcare in this example, are prohibited to the feds.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Please bear in mind that the 10th Amendment is probably one of the best-kept secrets in DC.
