The "Right's Weapon"

The United States Constitution, that is.

From Politico:
The federal lawsuits against last year’s health care overhaul were greeted with eye-rolling and snickers from many conventional legal scholars.

Nobody’s laughing now.

A federal judge in Virginia ruled late last year that a key underpinning of the health care law stretches the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution past the breaking point, while another judge in Florida is expected to rule on Monday. Both cases are likely to proceed toward the Supreme Court.

Pelosi famously reacted with, "Are you serious?" when questioned about the constitutionality of Obamacare's individual mandate. She now has an answer.
