Senator Demint floor speech on video and print at the link above. Senator Demint :
"...This bill centralizes control of important functions of our civil society. There is a downside to good intentions here in Government. The Founders created a limited government and our oath to support and defend the Constitution means that is our focus here. Our oath is to a limited government. The Founders wanted the people to be free from our good intentions. Government charity is anathema to what our Founders intended and what our Constitution stands for. Despite our good intentions, where we try to implement those good intentions and our compassion through the force of Government, we are effectively violating our oath of office here...."

My comment:
Please read what Senator Demint has said. It is very clear that this Act is unconstitutional. If someone does not send it to the Supreme court for determination of legality, then all is lost. Saying something is unconstitutional is not challenging it, but is co-opting with the tyranny. This Act is the expansion of the ACORN Army of Obama.
