Janet “Baby Killer” Reno, attorney general of the United states, issues a written opinion concerning the nationalization of healthcare by Hillary Rodham Clinton, stating that the Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8 [Clause 3]) gives CONgress virtually unlimited authority to do anything that it wants.
NOTES:
- Prior to this, amendments were proposed to the States in 1861 and 1865 regulating commerce in slavery; to the states in 1917 and 1933, regulating commerce in alcoholic beverages; and to the states in 1924, regulating commerce in child labor.
- As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Clinton was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
Questions:
- Why were these amendments proposed if CONgress’ authority over commerce is unlimited?
- If the Commerce Clause is an unlimited grant of power to CONgress, why is a constitution to limit government necessary at all?
