Flashback: How Congresscritters justified the constitutionality of ObamaCare: "Since the federal judge in Virginia declared ObamaCare unconstitutional, I thought it amusing to take a stroll down memory lane as to what our Congresscritters said justifying their vote. First up: Video: John Conyers (D-MI) claims ObamaCare mandate constitutional because of nonexistant 'good and welfare' clause in US Constitution

(This guy got fired last month:) Video: Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) on ObamaCare: “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this”

(This one got fired as Speaker of the House:) Pelosi can't answer question of constitutionality of healthcare mandates, claims such questions are not serious!

Sen Patrick Leahy: No one questions our authority to impose federal insurance mandate

Video: Sen. Merkley: Authority to Force People to Buy Health Insurance is Part of Congress's 'Very First Enumerated Power'

Video: Mary Landrieu doesn't know: says 'let 'constitutional lawyers' explain where Congress gets the constitutional power' for ObamaCare

Video: Protester to Dem Sen Mark Warner: What part of the Constitution lets you take over healthcare? Warner: Don't you like your phone or something?

Audio of Sen. Blanch Lincoln: Congress Can Force Americans to Buy Health Insurance Because Constitution ‘Charges Congress With the Health’ of the People

Senator Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa): ObamaCare Mandate Constitutional But I Can't Find The Actual Provision Or Something. No video on that one. Sen. Nelson Says He is Unable to Say Where Constitution Authorizes Insurance Mandate

There you have it folks - a compendium of kakistocrasy.
