Nancy Pelosi : "Constitutionality Is NOT A Serious Question"

At the start of each new Congress, the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate are sworn into office. The current oath was fashioned in the 1860s, by Civil War-era members of Congress.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.  

Once again Nancy Pelosi has shown that she does not care about the oath she took, just as she doesn't care about the US Constitution or the American people. At her Press conference yesterday she was asked a legitimate question by CNS that has been asked of the Senate Leadership. Specifically, where the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance--a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill--Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”


CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”


Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated that individual Americans buy health insurance as not a "serious question."

“You can put this on the record,” said Elshami. “That is not a serious question. That is not a serious question.”

NOT SERIOUS? Every bit of authority that Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and the rest of the Democrats trying to shove government control of Heathcare down of our throats comes from that one document.

What Ms. Pelosi doesn't understand that there are still people in America that believe in that one little document. In fact, we think that document is what made this country great, and come 2010 we will do our best to make sure that you are retired from the speaker position so you can take a remedial constitution class.
