Orrin Hatch

Forcing purchase of health insurance not grounded in Constitution

In October 2009, a reporter asked then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "Where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?" She responded, "Are you serious?" Few questions could be more serious, and this week, the Supreme Court is spending three days exploring this and several other questions about the legitimacy of Obamacare, the president's signature achievement and the largest expansion of government in generations.

From Powerline blog:

Orrin Hatch is one of the veteran Republicans in the Senate, and, if the GOP retakes the Senate in November as many expect, he will play a key role in that body. Hatch has always been regarded as a solid conservative, but this year there are activists who want to nominate someone else; someone who ostensibly is more conservative than the incumbent.

This strikes me as an amazingly stupid and destructive move. I can understand conservative activists trying to knock off the ladies from Maine, or maybe Richard Lugar. But Orrin Hatch? You've got to be kidding! Hatch is one of the most effective conservatives in Washington.

The American Conservative Union publishes yearly rankings of Senators and Congressmen, based on what the ACU believes to be the key votes in each year. The ACU rankings are an excellent benchmark to assess how our elected representatives are performing, and they show that Orrin Hatch has been, for a long time, one of the most conservative members of the Senate. You can see the ACU ratings here.
