Judge Napolitano took on Congressman James Clyburn, the No. 3 Democrat in the House, on his radio show yesterday:
The Judge then pops the question: “Where in the Constitution is the federal government charged with maintaining people’s health?”
Clyburn’s answer: “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the federal government has anything to do with most of the stuff we do.”
The Judge charges back a bit later: “You took an oath to uphold the Constitution. You can’t go outside the Constitution because you think it is a good thing to do without violating that oath!”
Clyburn replies: “How about show me where in the Constitution it prohibits the federal government from doing this?”
The Judge then, of course, cites the 10th Amendment.
