he complained to john adams, quote, my health is entirely broken down within the last eight months. number six, jefferson owned three different slaves named sally, adding to the historical confusion. yet he never freed his supposedly over of 38 years, sally hemmings, from her enslavement, or ever mentioned her in his will. seven, the paternity believers rely heavily on the sketchy circumstantial evidence of the birth records of all of sally's children, proof that jefferson was present at monticello during all of sally's conceived pregnancies. this is absolutely false, since it assumes that sally was also present at all the times that jefferson was present in monticello. sallies simultaneous physical presence in monticello with jefferson is completely unknown by any recorded evidence. this false and misleading assumption skews the entire time in debate. in fact, there are a specific letter in 1802 from jefferson to his daughter, which reasonably implies sally, as was her sister, may have been elsewhere besides monticello. number eight, the confusing testimony of madison hemmings, who

"we have every right to dream come into dream heroic dreams." and so, ladies and gentlemen, we did. president reagan demonstrated the power of big ideas. he was guided by a deeply held core values, principles about taxes and about spending, and about national defense. and most of all, perhaps, abo

michael adams, ph.d., and carroll g. robinson, esquire, and barbara jordan from the mickey leland school of public affairs, texas southern university. "our reading of the constitution and supreme court precedent could not identify any reasonable basis, expressed or implied, for granting congress the broad, sweeping and unprecedented power that is represented by the individual mandate requirement. in fact, we could not find any court decision, state or federal, that said or implied that the constitution gave congress the power to mandate citizens to buy a particular good or service or be subject to a financial penalty levied by the government for not doing so." that's -- that's pretty impressive stuff. it is certainly possible to achieve the goal of greater health insurance coverage by constitutional means, not unconstitutional means. i am quite certain, however, that those means are politically impossible. liberty requires that the constitution trump politics, but in the legislation before us, politics trumps the constit
