Ladies and gentlemen, Rep. Phil Hare, D-IL:



Where in the U.S. Constitution does Congress have the authority to mandate the purchase of health insurance?

"I don't worry about the Constitution on this, to be honest... I care more about the people who are dying everyday who don't have health insurance."

So much for that old "protect and defend" promise...
