The New American – Joe Wolverton,
II, J.D. – 3/13/2013
Ritze recognizes ObamaCare
for what it is: a federal attack on life, liberty, and property.
“There is no provision in
Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution where the states
delegated to Congress the authority to make a citizen purchase health care or
pay a fine,” Ritze said. “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is an
example of federal overreach and my legislation will authorize the state via
the will of the People to ignore it and ban the enforcement of it.”
“They fail to understand how
the country is supposed to operate,” Ritze added. “As Alexander Hamilton wrote
in The Federalist, No. 33: ‘It expressly confines this supremacy to laws
made pursuant to the Constitution.’ Alexander Hamilton got it right. Congress
and the Supreme Court got it wrong.
Ritze’s reading of the
Constitution is the same as that of the Founding Fathers.
The Supremacy
Clause (as some wrongly call it) of Article VI does not declare that
laws passed by the federal government are the supreme law of the land, period.
What it says is that the “laws of the United States
In PURSUANCE thereof, not in
VIOLATION thereof. None of the provisions of ObamaCare are permissible under
any enumerated power given to Congress in the Constitution; therefore, they
were not made in pursuance of the Constitution, and they are NOT the supreme
law of the land.
