Michele, you don't have the gray matter to comprehend what's in the Constitution. So, let's not make up a bunch of goofy shit about a document you've never even read.

Somewhere, Michele, under a big colorful tent, there's a clown car idling, just waiting for one more passenger. Don't leave them waiting.

I love how she rolls with "It's interesting, a lot of members of Congress may have forgotten what their Constitution says..." and then totally neglects to follow it up with an explanation of how her claim is true. Oh yeah, because she has absolutely nothing. She just spits out buzz words -- "socialism" "government run health care" "fascist" "remember the Constitution", "blah blah blah"

I hope she gets defeated next time around.

Let me be the first to engage in the same smearing obnoxious name-calling Republicans excel at and say this:

MICHELLE BACHMANN WANTS TO ABOLISH MEDICARE!!!

You 65 and older people in Minnesota need to do something about this!!!

Well, not in the secret Biblically conformed and compatible Constitution in Michelle's head, but, in the real one that she so insincerely swore an oath to her Old Testament Comics God to uphold, it says, in Article I, Section 8:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

* * *

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several Statesand with the Indian Tribes;,

and, of course,

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Based on her previous demands of officials at hearings to explain exactly where the Constitution gives them the right to do what they're doing, I get the impression that Bachmann doesn't grasp the whole concept that the Constitution authorizes Congress to pass laws, and doesn't put a lot of restrictions on what those laws can be. Instead, she seems to believe that the federal government is only allowed to do things that are specifically described in the Constitution.

Considering that passing laws is in the part of the Constitution that defines her job, one wonders exactly what she believes she was elected to do...

Keep digging, Michele...

Bachmann v. Reality brings new meaning to "diversity jurisdiction."

Actually, Michelle (you dolt), the Constitution says, right there at the beginning, that the federal government was established to, in part, "promote the general welfare...." What could be promoting the general welfare of the nation more than a government-backed health care system? What a freaking moron.

Oh, and apodaca, I LOVE the civil procedure humor!!

If Bachmann vs. Reality is class action, count me in.

Wow. She did not read very far, did she?

Preamble:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, ...

Emphasis mine.

Ninth Amendment:

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

That is, right to health care, if one is considered to exist.
