Pelosi on Obamacare: I Knew Ted Kennedy ‘Would Go to Heaven and Help Us Pass the Bill’

(CNSNews.com) – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that “It’s pretty exciting” that the Supreme Court upheld the health-care law’s individual mandate as a tax, saying now Sen. Ted Kennedy can “rest in peace.”

“I knew that when he left us he would go to heaven and help pass the bill,” Pelosi said of the late Massachusetts Democratic senator.

“Now I know he was busily at work until this decision came down, inspiring one way or another. And now he can rest in peace.”

Pelosi, who had previously predicted a 6-3 victory for Obamacare, said the decision was “no surprise.” The Minority Leader cited “interstate commerce” in defending the constitutionality of the law, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling that the mandate is not justified under the Commerce Clause.

“We thought—we knew we were on solid ground in terms of interstate commerce, solid ground in terms of the constitution, it was just a question of what the vote would be,” she said. “And with that confidence we happily embraced the decision that came down.”

"He is rotting in hell."

Simple logic and reason and a knowledge of the Bible's teachings tell me that you are right.

Kennedy and his brothers are weeping and gnashing their teeth at this very moment.

I'm sure that Obamacare is the last thing that is on what is left of his mind.

Wide is the gate that leads to destruction and these pro-abortion monsters need to know that belonging to the Catholic church that refuses to excommunicate them will not stop it.
