Also, he was the ONLY person to vote against it, the rest of the 3% abstained. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2901#comment-72592 Funky Dung Sat, 24 May 2008 16:04:27 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/?p=2901#comment-72592 I did not say GINA would be another affirmative action law, per se. I said, "I haven't formed an educated opinion of my own. From my gut, though, I'd say I'm wary of any government attempt to manage discrimination. Affirmative Action is a nightmare." http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2901#comment-72586 Is Discrimination Always Wrong? @ Ales Rarus Sat, 24 May 2008 15:57:27 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/?p=2901#comment-72586 [...] response to Gutter Ball Master's post, "Dr. Paul May Do Harm", I offer the following article as rebuttal.

Let's not be writing laws willy-nilly. http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/archives/2901#comment-72507 Adam Graham Sat, 24 May 2008 04:15:31 +0000 http://alesrarus.funkydung.com/?p=2901#comment-72507 I think it was because of his interpretation of strict adherence to the Constitution. It does represent an expansion of federal government powers.

I think this could reasonably fall under the Commerce Clause, because insurance is usually bought interstate, but the commerce clause has been abused to no end.
