Kagan - No Limit to Fed. Govt. Powers in Her Eyes

A friend sent me the video below from Elena Kagan's confirmation hearing and my blood literally boiled after watching it.

It should literally make every single, solitary American citizen sick to their stomachs to hear silence and stuttering from a woman who is going to be confirmed to the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT when asked the question "Do we have the power to tell people what they have to eat every day."

Let's see what James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, had to say about the original intention of the Commerce Clause that so many liberals are hiding behind to mask their unquenchable desire to expand the role of the federal government:

"Yet it is very certain that it grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the nonimporting, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government, in which alone, however, the remedial power could be lodged." - Letter to Cabell, February 13, 1829.

We are literally handing away liberty each and every day in this country, and I am scared to death that we all are going to wake up in the very near future and simply mutter "How did we let this happen."
