Dave Kopel writes: "When the [health care bill] was moving through Congress, there was a lot of bluster from proponents of the law, who insisted that there were absolutely no potential constitutional problems. Most famously, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scoffed “Are you serious?” to a journalist’s question about the law’s constitutionality. As it turns out, there are a lot of serious questions."
