The House has voted 46-16 in favor of HCR 64, a resolution calling for amendments to the U.S. Constitution to narrow the Commerce Clause and broaden the 10th Amendment on states’ rights. Rep. Ken Roberts, R-Donnelly, told the House the move would “get the teeth back in the 10th amendment and limit the Commerce Clause as was intended by the founders.” He said, “This concurrent resolution is all about freedom, it’s all about what America was originally built on.” Opponents said the wording of the proposed amendment was problematic legally. “This kind of amendment is going to work mischief,” said Rep. Bill Killen, D-Boise. The measure now moves to the Senate.

But, but, but doesn’t that implicitly fly in the face of the entire rationale for the Idaho Health Freedumb Act? Didn’t they say the pending legislation was already unconstitutional? Doesn’t this acknowledge that health care reform legislation is indeed allowed by the constitution?
So why then would Otter champion the IHFA when it spends money we don’t have on lawyers? Maybe the answer is found here.
