Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constiution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a "serious question."

In order to answer the question, the Speaker would have to actually know the contents of the document in question.

They seriously don’t care what’s in the Constitution.
Their wisdom and discretion is superior to it.

Exactly. Apart from her broader ignorance of and disregard for the constitution, she literally had no idea how to even pretend to answer that question.

Her "Are you serious? Are you serious?" response was classic stall by someone who is entirely out of their element. She was just flat-out stumped. Didn't even try to dance around it or blow her usual smoke--which she would have if she'd had the slightest shred of knowledge that related to the question. She couldn't even come up with the democrats' favorite, magical, all-purpose commerce clause. That only came later, in the written response to CNS--obviously, the product of staff. If that had honestly been her constitutional basis, she would have invoked it in her oral response.
