Another false flag argument by cryin’ Chuck. The slug will say anything to further his agenda.
Yep, no doubt about it.
Valid semantic argument but irrelevant politically.
His mouth and ass... Isn't that a clear example of a synonym?
You mean you actually pay attention to anything Chuckles the Clown says?
OK I sometimes do just for a laugh...
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regardless of post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Schumer’s concerns about pre-existing medical conditions, it remains that the Constitution’s silence about healthcare basically makes healthcare a constitutionally unchecked, 10th Amendment-protected state power issue.
In fact, regardless what the misguided Roberts Supreme Court wanted everybody to think about Obamacare, the justices “overlooked” that previous generations of state sovereignty respecting justices had clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate healthcare.
"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.
"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.
"Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
"Obviously, direct control of medical practice [emphases added] in the states is beyond the power of the federal government.” —Linder v. United States, 1925.
”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.
Although the Founding States left taxing and spending for domestic healthcare purposes uniquely to the individual states, patriots will first need to support PDJT in leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes indicated by the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, each state should ultimately find new revenue to pay for state healthcare programs, depending what the legal majority voters of a given state want.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” — Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that the constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes, or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.
And to make state control of healthcare permanent, patriots will also need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Yes.. Yes it is.
