Rand Paul: Just Because SCOTUS Says It's Constitutional, 'Doesn't Make It So' [View all]

Rand Paul: Just Because SCOTUS Says It's Constitutional, 'Doesn't Make It So'

Apparently, someone was asleep during his US Government class:

"Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional. While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our health care right," Sen. Paul said.

"Obamacare is wrong for Americans. It will destroy our health care system. This now means we fight every hour, every day until November to elect a new President and a new Senate to repeal Obamacare," he continued.
