Remember Congressman Phil Hare from the Illinois 17th Congressional District? He didn't worry about the constitution when it got in the way of Obamacare? Congressman Bobby Schilling has his seat now. So full of themselves and the 2008 victory Democrats felt comfortable telling the voters that their own opinions trumped the constitution they had sworn to protect and defend.
I think what rankles Tea Party conservatives most about the HHS mandate is not the suppression of religious freedom although that certainly does, but more than that is the arrogance and outright disregard for the written words of the constitution that explicitly forbids the HHS and Obama from "prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Congresswoman Kathy Hochul says, “Basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution” which is about as bad as what the former representative from Illinois said. Lo and behold! she got the same response. Anyone care to bet on her political future?
Wow. Excellent catch. She's really catching heck. Good riddance, I hope.
