Warning: Obamacare Gives Feds "State Police Power"

By Rick Pearcey • December 17, 2010, 08:23 AM

Bob Unruh reports at WorldNetDaily:

There simply is no authority in the U.S. Constitution that allows bureaucrats in Washington to regulate "decisions," according to arguments that challenge the legality of Obamacare and have been handed in to a federal appeals court.

They also warn affirmation of the law would give the federal government what amounts to "state police power."

"Contrary to the district court's decision, there is no enumerated power in the Constitution that permits the federal government to mandate that plaintiffs and other American 'residents' purchase health-care coverage or face a penalty," said the brief submitted by the Thomas More Law Center to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The appeal is from a decision by Judge George Steeh to dismiss the lawsuit brought by the law center and several individuals challenging Obamacare as going far beyond what authority the government actually has.
