Fuck it, I'll answer it myself. It is absolutely not there. Thus, any bill which contains such wording is unconstitutional. Those writing this bill KNOW that this provision is unconstitutional, and they are writing it anyway. Those same people swore an oath to uphold the constitution. Take that for what it's worth - nothing.

Well, its good to see the constitutional scholars making their voices heard.
The government requires you to buy car insurance if you want to drive. I'm not a constitutional scholar either, but it appears that nobody of any consequence actually believes any of these crazy "it is not constitutional" arguments. Certainly none of the legit con law scholars. I'm pretty content with that.
