"I don't worry about the Constitution on this, to be honest."

The Cato Institute's Michael F. Cannon highlights a revealing on-camera exchange where Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.) admits just how seriously he took his oath to uphold the Constitution when it came to ObamaCare:

Off-camera: Where in the Constitution…

Rep. Hare: I don't worry about the Constitution on this, to be honest.

Off-camera: [Laughter.] Jackpot, brother.

Rep. Hare: What I care more about — I care more about the people that are dying every day that don't have health insurance.

Off-camera: You care more about that than the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold!

Rep. Hare: I believe that it says we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  Now you tell me…

Off-camera: That's the Declaration of Independence.

Rep. Hare: It doesn't matter to me. Either one…

[Lots of childish sniping.]

Off-camera: Where in the Constitution does it give you the authority to…

Rep. Hare: I don't know.  I don't know.

Off-camera: That's what I thought.
