Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Can We Undo Proposed Health Care Legislation If Passed?: "I have been asked to address what, if anything, could be done if supporters of the current health care reform bill passed by the house and sent to the Senate should be voted into law.

If the results of the 2010 election don’t cure it, voters would have the right to challenge the new law on constitutional grounds, beginning with a specific challenge on the Enumeration Clause contained within the10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This clause limits the Federal Government to actions specifically delegated to it by the Constitution, with all other rights falling under the jurisdiction of the States individually.

If it could be proved that the parties initiating and benefiting from such actions were to have or develop a personal financial interest from such legislation, one could speculate that the provisions of the U.S. Criminal Code would waive their individual immunity from prosecution, based on those parts of the CJS (Corpus Juris Secundum), specifically Sections 22, 22A and 46. Indeed, if it could be proved that these legislative actions intended to overthrow the political structure of the United States, said conduct would be said to be an act of sedition in that so many parties would have been involved so as to prove a conspiracy on a prima face basis.

Were our politicians to be faced with the threat of being painted with a dark brush, I believe that they would run from Government Elected Service. There is enough here to whet the appetite of any good constitutional lawyer/scholar."
