I do not understand. When I look in the constitution, I expected to see something in it that prohibited congress from making a sweetheart deal for one state at the expense of another. I did. It is in Article I, section 9, and reads as follows:
No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear or pay Duties in another.
The healthcare bill is a regulation of a major portion of the US commerce. So what magic of wordsmithing has congress used to say that it is okay to make a sweetheart deal for Florida, Nebraska and Louisiana to get the health care bill to pass?
Have we the people gotten so indifferent to the constitution that our elected officials swore to uphold? I hope that we would vote anyone who blatantly disregards the constitution out of office. It should never be ignored for the convenience of the elite members of congress.
Nancy Pelosi, do you have anything to say about this?
