Does Bob Inglis Funnel Everything Through The Constitution?
Dave Edwards believes that every issue we face today must be funneled through the Constitution by those who represent us. How does our current Representative do when it comes to funneling issues through the Constitution? In the video below, Chris Matthews of MSNBC is interviewing Bob Inglis on the health care debate and Inglis says that the "individual mandate makes sense." In other words, Inglis is in favor of the Federal Government telling you that you MUST purchase something or be penalized. Where in the Constitution is the Federal Government given that authority? Sound more like tyranny or freedom?
I first heard Inglis push this idea of an "individual mandate" at a town hall meeting that I attended last Fall. This same meeting was my first exposure to the passion Dave Edwards has for the Constitution. After Inglis made his remarks about the "individual mandate," Dave stood up at the question and answer time and asked Inglis a few simple questions:
1. Have you read the Constitution this year?
2. Where does it say that Congress has the right to handle things like health care?
Inglis didn't really have good answers for either of these questions but I was immediately impressed by Dave's passion for the Constitution and his willingness to take a stand on principle.
