The contraception mandate is the product of ObamaCare and during the debate over ObamaCare Rep. a constituent asked Pete Stark what government could not do. He said:
The federal government, yes, can do most anything in this country.
Constituent: “How can legislation such as this be constitutional when it seems to be in direct conflict with the 13th amendment? ...And ...if this legislation is constitutional, what limitations are there on the federal government’s ability to tell us how to run our private lives?”
Stark: “I think there are very few constitutional limits that would prevent the federal government from rules that could affect your private life.”
Constituent: “My question is: How can this law be constitutional?—but more importantly than that—if they can do this, what can’t they?...Is your answer that they can do anything?”
Stark: “The federal government, yes, can do most anything in this country.”
