"The AGs in the lawsuit, who are all Republicans, argue that the bill violates the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, which says, "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.""
Too bad you can't disbar an AG for horribly misinterpreting the Constitution. The following powers are delegated by the Constitution. MC
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Let's start with justice, as defined: fairness: fairness or reasonableness, especially in the way people are treated or decisions are made
How about insuring domestic tranquility? Tranquility as defined=peaceful state: a state of peace and calm. These Republicans are fomenting anything but peace and calm and for the most un-American reason of all, pure political gain.
How about promoting the general Welfare? Welfare as defined, well-being: somebody's state or condition with respect to whether he or she is healthy, safe, happy, or prospering.
How about Liberty? Liberty can be defined as, basic right: a political, social, and economic right that belongs to the citizens of a state or to all people.
NOT having health care violates four of the five edicts found in the Preamble of the Constitution. Go ahead and throw in Defense, Republicans and Democrats are not only miserable failures at defending the borders, territorial waters, US airspace, seaports and critical infrastructure, they are also obscenely incapable of doing so in a responsibly fiscal manner. Tax and spend, indeed. MC
