Read the Preamble. Read the two Founding Documents. There has never been and never will be a clearer statement of Conservative Principles because those are PRINCIPIUM IMPRIMIS "...[T]hat is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." -- John KeatsLet's stop parsing health "care" proposals, back and forth. The Constitution DOES NOT ALLOW the federal government to be involved -- even a little -- in health "care" or retirement or education or mortgages or agriculture subsidies or student loans or "the environment" or any of the thousands of "duties" which they've assumed since FDR. Read Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution: the SEVENTEEN ENUMERATED DUTIES of the federal government. If it's not there, the duty falls to the States, further defined and confirmed by Amendments 10 and 14. If the federal government goes beyond, outside, around, over, those seventeen DUTIES, what they're doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Could that be "high crimes and misdemeanors"?
