Dark Day for American Liberty

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli slammed the Supreme Court’s decision on President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, saying that Thursday is “a dark day for the American people, the Constitution, and the rule of law.”
“This decision goes against the very principle that America has a federal government of limited powers; a principle that the Founding Fathers clearly wrote into the Constitution, the supreme law of the land,” Cucinelli, a leading opponent of the law added.
“This is a dark day for American liberty.
“The Constitution was meant to restrict the power of government precisely for the purpose of protecting your liberty and mine from the overreaching hand of the federal government.
“This unprecedented decision says that Congress has the authority to force citizens to buy private goods or face fines, — a power it has never had in American history, and a power King George III and Parliament didn’t have over us when we were mere subjects of Great Britain.
“Since the federal government itself could never articulate to the court a constitutional limit to this power, Congress has gained an unlimited power to force citizens to buy anything,” Cuccinelli added.
“I am disappointed with the court’s ruling and with the unprecedented attack on American liberty the president and the previous Congress have created with this law.”

Thank you Ken Cuccinelli.

…the anthem of Ubamacare should be “The Witch Doctor” by Davis Seville (1958)

BobF says:

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land but it’s nine lawyers in black robes to determine what that law says.

Wild Thing says:

Wily, oh wow that would be perfect.
