Walter Williams points out in this column that the Obamacrats clearly don’t think so. Even to ask about the constitutionality of the proposed political takeover of the health care industry is “not a serious question.”

As Williams shows, if you take the view that the Constitution is a “living document” that can be stretched and twisted to permit anything the politicians want, there’s nothing left of it. The First Amendment or any other part of the Constitution can be chopped away for the sake of political expediency of those in power. Every American should regard that prospect with horror.
