Dr. Kevin Gutzman on Health Care and the General Welfare Clause

Constitutional scholar Dr. Kevin Gutzman was recently interviewed on the Mike Church Show regarding the illegitimate use of the General Welfare Clause to justify federal control over health care. Dr. Gutzman is the author of Who Killed the Constitution and the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution.

The segment began with Church playing a clip of Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D -MD) asserting that the General Welfare Clause authorizes Congress to control health care. Here is a transcript of the interview that followed. Needless to say, Dr. Gutzman disagrees.

If the Senate bill allowing state (and probably county or even city opt-outs) passes, is that at least one little victory for Constitutionalists?
