President Barack Obama is one of the worst presidents ever in terms of respecting constitutional limitations on government, and the states suing the federal government over healthcare reform "have a pretty strong case" and are likely to prevail, according to author and judicial analyst Andrew P. Napolitano.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV's Ashley Martella, Napolitano says the president's healthcare reforms amount to "commandeering" the state legislatures for federal purposes, which the Supreme Court has forbidden as unconstitutional.
"The Constitution does not authorize the Congress to regulate the state governments," Napolitano says. "Nevertheless, in this piece of legislation, the Congress has told the state governments that they must modify their regulation of certain areas of healthcare, they must surrender their regulation of other areas of healthcare, and they must spend state taxpayer-generated dollars in a way that the Congress wants it done.

Dear Lord, may the Judge be correct in his assessment!
To: RobinMasters
And despite all that it will still be a 5-4 decision.

Wouldn’t this be sweet. Especially after the way the justices were attacked by the Kenyan during his SOTU Show.

If they do this before the GOP takes back one of the houses of Congress, Obama and Pelosi and Reid will stack the Court.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Justices were looking for a little “payback”.

President Barack Obama is one of the worst presidents ever in terms of respecting constitutional limitations on government,One of the worst? Even FDR, on his best court-stacking day, wasn't in the same league as Obama.

If odorkocare is not unconstitutional, then nothing is and the feds have all the power they want. Finding odorkocare constitutional is the end of the Constitution. But then, that is what the fascists want.

I expect 0bambi to communicate his wishes (menacingly, if not threateningly) to the court, and as a result, get a 9-0 decision that throws out 0bamacare out entirely.

I can see Breyer joining in on this one. 6-3If they truly believed their oath of office, it would be 9-0. Even the Wise Latina and Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg should have to go along. Of course, they won't. But they should.
