I won’t EVER comply with obamacare mandates. Ever.
That’s what is so worrisome. We still gotta lotta praying to do.
“MSM will spin like crazy to cover for him. “ Now, the issue is to prepare proactively to debunk their junk.
Sorry, that's not how it works.
A US District judge voided the bill. His ruling is only enforceable in his specific district.
Judges in other districts may use his ruling as a precedent for their own rulings, but his ruling isn't binding outside his district.
If the federal government appeals (and I presume they will), then the Circuit Court of Appeals will rule. If they reaffirm the ruling, then the scope expands to that circuit (I believe there are 10 in the country).
Whoever loses in the Court of Appeals can then appeal to the US Supreme Court. But, the Court rarely takes a case unless there are conflicting rulings among the US Circuit Courts.
Since other courts have affirmed Obamacare, the potential for conflict exists. But, until it bubbles up to the Circuit Courts, the Supreme Court probably won't consider it.
His ruling is currently enforceable only in his district.
It's not even the entire state. It's only the northern district of Florida:

They’d BETTER vote against it....we’ll be taking names and
getting rid of some more RINOs in 2012!
Obviously the woman is prepared to do anything to cling to the government trough.
That is an absolute shopworn lie regarding Senator Snowe. She only voted in favor of the Baucus plan in the Senate Finance Committee, which the RATS then controlled the committee by a 13 to 8 margin. The Baucus bill would have gone forward with or without Senator Snowe’s vote.
There is plenty to Senator Snowe’s record to attack. This is NOT one of those issues. Snowe not only held firm on cloture throughout Christmas 2009, she further privately promised Mitch McConnell that she would NOT give Harry Reid the patina of bipartisanship by securing her vote, either on cloture or final passage.
I, among others, have plenty of disagreements with Senator Snowe, but this is not the occasion, and I wish people would learn the truth and give her a modicum of credit on this issue. She does not support this law, and she has signed on to repeal, as well.
OK?
You are correct. The USSC will not take the case until the various Circuit Courts of Appeals weigh in. Moreover, the Obama justice department does NOT want a fast track to the USSC - they will do everything they can to kick this past the 2012 election - further hoping that they can induce Justice Kennedy to retire or another conservative justice to drop dead.
This one is for keeps, folks.
Yes that is correct. However, banging the repeal of Onadacare drum in the House makes the Dems defend it. It is essential to the ultimate repeal of this travesty that the dialog not be allowed to languish. It will also, along with Onada’s disastrous energy and economic policies, set the table for the 2012 Senate and presidential elections.
The Usurping Marxist Onada and his band of angry commies will be trying anything to divert voter’s attention from those topics. We’ve already seen how they tried to use the AZ shooting to redirect the voter’s attention to guns—again.
Current Mid-East turmoil will also be used by Onada and his propaganda organs to avoid talking about Onadacare and his energy/economic policies. I’m somewhat hopeful that Egypt will get a grip on itself. Mubarak may have to do some bobbing and weaving, but so far only about 250,000 Egyptians have been involved in the demonstrations in that country. I’m not sure the so-called unrest extends beyond Cairo. With a 20 million or so population, 250,000 demonstrators hardly represent the majority of Egyptians.
It remains to be seen whether or not the Muslim Brotherhood can sustain—let alone enlarge—its move to destabilize the Mid-East.
How will Murky vote?
McConnell pulled a smart parlimentarian move last week by not allowing the House-passed repeal legislation to get buried in a Senate committee controlled by the RATS. McConnell can pull up the repeal for a floor vote at a time of his choosing and Reid CANNOT protect his RAT Senators from taking a brutal vote on repeal. Too bad for them.
McConnell deserves your respect NOW already on this issue. Keeping a minority of 40 senators together the weekend b4 Christmas in the face of immense media hostility and pressure from unions, the White House and trial lawyers was an amazing feat.
Senator Murkowski has already signed on to the repeal bill.
Give McConnell still more credit.
If they can’t get this done, then they should at the very least out law any waivers. we’ll see how his union buddies and other big donors like that.
You sound worried that it might pass the Senate and reach Obama.
