Kenneth you need to go back a couple pages and answer the other questions first before tossing your red herrings.

>>Jake, do you support cutting defense spending by the amount set forth in the last budget compromise? I think all gov't expenditures should be looked at line by line. I think redundant gov't agencies should be merged and in some case eliminated. I think cost-cutting, productivity and waste should be examined. I think the gov't should establish a flat tax, which would save money on enforcement and cut down the size of the IRS. I think foreign aid should be cut. I think the gov't should stop throwing away money on pet projects. I think you are an idiot...

Kenneth, Today, I spoke to a speaker from the Missouri Dept of Health and Senior Services. We got into the discussion of what impact would be the result if the Healthcare Bill was overturned as being outside the US Constitution. His and other healthcare hospital and doctors have indicated to me, "there would be a big mess in the healthcare industry since a large portion of the bill is already in place, ie. 26 year old individuals under their parents healthcare policy, pre-existing condition clauses, payment this past year to those on medicare part D, and other items on the bill." Also, rejection would establish a negative past practice for other laws where the commerce clause was used to implement Federal Laws on individuals and State. These laws then could be over turned. What we have in this situation is the "law of un-intendent consequences." From you knowledge of the law, what past laws passed by the Fed. could possibly be re-addressed and overturned if a conservative court choice to over turn previous laws on Constitutional grounds?
