Harry Reid, Unconstitutional Laws, and Obamacare
Speaking on the Senate floor during leader time this afternoon, Majority Leader Reid offered comments on this morning’s Supreme Court decision regarding Arizona’s immigration law. Sen. Reid called it “disturbing” that anyone would consider the Arizona law a policy model. He continued:
Anyone who thinks such an unconstitutional law should serve as a model, their national reform is clearly outside the mainstream and the United States Supreme Court agreed with that today.
So on Monday of this week, Sen. Reid said that an immigration bill ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court is “clearly outside the mainstream” and not a model for national reform. Of course, we know Sen. Reid will apply exactly the same standard to the health care bill as well. That’s why, should the Court decide to strike down some or all of Obamacare on Thursday, we eagerly await Sen. Reid’s remarks admitting that the bill he and his Democrat colleagues rammed through two years ago is “clearly outside the mainstream,” not a model for national reform, and should be repealed in its entirety for those reasons.
