Her's has nothing to do with our constitution, but her status as head of the rarefied strata of righteousness allows for such common discourtesy as fact.
CNSNews reported:
CNSNews.com asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday where the Constitution authorized Congress to order Americans to buy health insurance–a mandate included in both the House and Senate versions of the health care bill–Pelosi dismissed the question by saying: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
Pelosi’s press secretary later responded to written follow-up questions from CNSNews.com by emailing CNSNews.com a press release on the “Constitutionality of Health Insurance Reform,” that argues that Congress derives the authority to mandate that people purchase health insurance from its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce.
The exchange with Speaker Pelosi on Thursday occurred as follows:
CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”
Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter.
The forced health care is in an amendment right after the abortion rights amendment and just before the so-called 'Wall' amendment which erects a wall between citizens and their rights to fire arms, religion and freedom of speech not designated in the Constitution of Pelosi (COP).
Nanna needs some more of her "mother's little helpers" and soon.
UPDATE: A great idea from a Hot Air commentor:
I just sent the following message to http://www.speaker.gov/contact/
Where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?
Maybe if enough people ask, she’ll realize it’s a serious question.
