Congressman: ‘I Don’t Worry About the Constitution’

This article is absolutely hilarious. Here’s a snippet:

Confronted by an angry Tea Partier with a camera Thursday, an Illinois congressman said in front of several constituents at a town hall that he doesn’t care whether the new health care law violates the Constitution, as some critics have claimed.

“You care more about that than the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold?” Sharp shouted back.

In a video posted on You Tube, Adam Sharp of the St. Louis Tea Party asked Rep. Phil Hare which part of the Constitution authorizes the government to mandate that all Americans buy a private product such as health insurance. The Illinois Democrat replied, “I don’t worry about the Constitution on this.”

“Jackpot, brother,” Sharp said.

Hare cringed in disgust and said, “Oh please. What I care more about, I care more about the people dying every day who don’t have health care.”

“I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” Hare countered.
