Congresswoman Kathy Hochul (D-NY26) held a town hall meeting and was asked where in the Constitution the government is granted the right to force insurance companies to give away contraception for free. Hochul probably regrets how she phrased her answer. No doubt she was telling the truth, but it’s probably not a good idea to go around broadcasting it.
“Well, basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution on that aspect of it.”
She also said Congress decided health care is a right.
Freedom’s Lighthouse has more information.
Update: Linked by Katy Pundit – thanks!
It depends: if she’s in a safe Democratic district, perhaps she doesn’t really have to care that she told the truth. I’d suggest she may have some Democratic colleagues in more marginal districts who care about this more than she does.

I would say it’s not a safe district. She won in a special election after Chris Lee resigned. She’s the first Democrat to represent the district in something like 40 years.

ObamaCare is the master document for a new or transformed government as promised by Obama during the State of the Union address last month.
The president is forming a one party form of government, with the president as supreme leader. Obama declared that he will bypass congress and has not indicated any respect for the constitution.
He is one Supreme Court justice away from declaring himself leader from life!
Hochul just admitted that the Democratic party has a master plan, and there is no real opposition to their plan!

It is now obvious that under the uber socialist obama regime, the Constitution is the LAST consideration for the formation of their communistic “laws”. Let the socialist explain this one away without calling us racist or idiots. We now have a socialist claiming in her own words the Constitution was not concidered (but instead ignored) when coming up with communist-care…er, obamacare. If this sounds a bit over the top to you stalin lovin hypocrits, too bad. It’s YOUR party that said it not ours.

Thank you for posting this clip and God bless my fellow western New Yorkers. AS for what district Kathy Hochul will have to defend, we don’t know yet. The redistricting plans are still a state secret.

These jerks have been doing this for a LONG time. It is practically a tradition to ignore the constitution, because it is a thorn in the big toe of anyone who thinks they deserve power. It certainly did not begin with obama. Prez Wilson did not think much of free speech – and come to think of it – neither did John Adams !

Elected with only 37% of the total votes she has no mandate and is nothing but a pawn in the hands of the Democrate leadership. With the airbase closing hanging over her head and being used as a bargaining chit,they will get her to sell her soul, and Catholics, to the devil if it will get re-elected and keep her husband in his job as asst attorney general. So unless she can strike another deal with the scoundrel of the 26th district Jack Davis, she’s history! But let’s not hold our breath,this is western New York, home of that liberal crowd that believes in Socialism.but just not for them, you know, for everybody else! NICE….
