Why "reluctantly"?
“The health care market is more than one sixth of the national economy, and without doubt Congress has the power to reform and regulate this market.”
Ieeee! While I LOVE this decision, I cringe at this comment.
Thank you, G-d and this judge!!!
Senator McConnell needs to hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol with all the other Republicans. He should state, “Judge Vinson has declared the Obama-Pelosi-Reid health care law unconstititional, yet Senate majority leader Reid continues to block bringing the House bill to repeal the unconstitutional law to the floor for a vote. It is time those members of the Democrat majority who know this law must be repealed to sign the petition to being that bill to the Senate.”
When he is asked by a reporter, “Senator McConnell, don’t you expect President Obama will just veto that bill?”, the senator can answer, “I suspect he might, but that’s not his only option. I think he knows that if he vetos a bill to remove an unconstitutional law from the United States Code, he will be inviting a disaster for his party in the next election. He might simply put the repeal bill on the corner of this desk and take no action on that bill for ten days allowing the repeal of the job-killing, health-care-restricting health care law to become law without his signature. We would then be able to address health care in an open and rational manner to produce a bill that will improve health care by allowing doctors to practice medicine while lowering health care costs by fixing problems such as tort reform which drive up health care costs.”
Probably. But I'll sleep better when the Supreme Court puts the final stake through its heart with a 5 to 4 decision.
If they rule that, they can’t appeal.
SCOTUS would have to rule on overturning the judge.
Scalia better hire a food taster.
Thank you Reagan!
I’ll sleep much better this evening knowing that a judge finally fulfilled the obligation to the Constitution and rendered this piece of junk null and void. I wonder what the Justice Dept. and Solicitor General have up their sleeve - I’m sharpening my pitch-fork just in case.
Right. He's just talking about his limitations as a District Court judge. He's saying, indirectly, that he can't make law, nor ignore binding precedent, and in the matter of the Commerce Clause, precedent is already long-established.
This is the only conclusion that ANY Federal District Judge should come to. But, we've already seen one judge in a similar case expand the previous limitations of the Commerce Clause. That's the real problem.
Agreed.
BUMP
On a day where moogly and his communist minions are disrupting the world, this is indeed a gift from the Lord....
May the Good Lord continue to watch over America
ObamaCare ist Kaput!
Ya hear that Reid and Pelosi - your legacy is Kaput! There is a thing called thinking you are smarter than you really are and you thunk it. Yeeeepeeeee! Have some chocolate covered strawberries on me:)
AMEN. Thank you Lord for answered prayer!
If one of the real conservatives is lost because of health or death we are doomed.
