John Conyers is an idiot

[Chris]

House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) was asked on Friday where in the Constitution Congress gets the power to force people to buy health insurance.  He said, “Under several clauses, the good and welfare clause and a couple others.”

Conyers  also noted that, “All the scholars, the constitutional scholars that I know . . . they all say that there’s nothing unconstitutional in this bill and if there were, I would have tried to correct it if I thought there were.”  Well, Mr. Conyers, to start let me introduce you to three  constitutional  scholars  — not fringe right-wing kooks or anything like that, but respected people who publish widely — who think Obamacare is unconstitutional.  Now will you try to “correct” the bill?

Yet another senile old grump who needs be shuffled off to the retirement home.

These decrepit old leeches are a perfectly good reason for term limits.  That old fool has been in Congress since 1965.  The only person that's been there longer is John Dingell... 45 years!

I still don't understand why he isn't sharing jail space with his ugly ass ho of a convicted felon wife.
