Should the Supreme Court today pay fealty to our Owners’ Manual, The Constitution of The United States, Senator Patrick Leahy (D. VT) may learn the answer to the question he couldn’t answer, “Where, in your opinion, does the Constitution give specific authority for Congress to give an individual mandate for health insurance?”

Mr. Leahy not only proclaims an obvious “right” clearly unenumerated and unknown heretofore, Leahy fumbles badly claiming that an example of such a Congressional prerogative is evidenced by federal speed limits on federal highways.

In fact, the federal government cannot and does not set speed limits. Its only way to influence what limits states set, for speed, drinking age and nearly every other facet life in which the federal government involves itself unnecessarily in our lives is by controlling funding, the federal tit if you will that we should be weaned from.
