That title is both a subject question and a process question. As detailed here, does the Constitution of the United States grant the Federal government the right to force citizens to purchase a product? Plain reading of the document clearly says "no". Republicans in the Senate are pursuing the matter with full legal research.
Then there is the process question: Can legislation create such disparity in outcomes for states as represented by the sweetheart deals for Ben Nelson (Nebraska) and Mary Landrieu (Louisiana). As noted conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested, these deals clearly demonstrate that prostitution is perfectly legal in Washington, DC.
But are your Congressmen and women concerned about the Constitutionality of their work? Not according to Congressman James Clyburn from South Carolina......."most of what we do is not in the Constitution".
Well slap me upside the head: here I thought it was all about the Constitution. Silly me.
