Illegal Mandate

Our ObamaNation has learned that David B. Rivkin Jr. and Lee A. Casey find mandatory health insurance to be unconstitutional writing the following:

"Can Congress require every American to buy health insurance? In short, no. The Constitution assigns only limited, enumerated powers to Congress and none, including the power to regulate interstate commerce or to impose taxes, would support a federal mandate requiring anyone who is otherwise without health insurance to buy it."

In other news, White House Press Secretary Robert 'Ogee' Gibbs stated the President sees no reason to let the Constitution get in the way of what is best for Americans adding the President does not understand why those on the extreme far right are so wee weed up about something as unimportant as the Constitution.

From Ashes Rise - The Mandate Lyrics

Take a rigid allegiance to all that gleams,
to all that glitters and shines in the blood of machines.
For all that take solace in antiquity,
take your phantoms and cast them away, curse them to waste.
Smash no commandments, curse them to waste.
Lay your head down in pastures of circuits unseen.
Swallow fallout from heaven that lands at your feet.
For all that take solace in antiquity, waste away, curse it to waste.
Smash no commandments, curse them to waste.
