Federalist Society Symposium

Randy Barnett debates Pamela Karlan on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.

Best quote so far: "So, can the Congress force people to buy a GM car? They did! You just didn't get to keep the car."
- Pamela Karlan

Best Exchange:

Barnett: "... impetuses. Impeti? What's the plural?"
Karlan: "I believe it's impetoose, because it's fourth declension. But I might have just made that up."
