Nancy Pelosi Gets “Serious” about Obamacare
The San Jose Mercury News reports that at a town hall meeting yesterday, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she expects the Supreme Court to uphold Obamacare: “I expect a 6-3 ‘aye’ verdict from the Supreme Court.” This development is somewhat curious, as when asked about the constitutionality of an individual mandate three years ago, the then-Speaker incredulously replied, “Are you serious?”
Apparently, Speaker Pelosi finally got serious herself. The fact that even the House Speaker thinks three Supreme Court justices will find Obamacare unconstitutional shows that the law’s individual mandate is unprecedented and a significant intrusion on liberty – not the “slam dunk” case Pelosi previously thought it would be. Some would only wish that the Speaker and her liberal allies had gotten serious about the Constitution BEFORE ramming through a massive, 2700-page health care law.
