In a brief filed Monday in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, Coakley says the fact that Romney and the Massachusetts Legislature imposed an individual mandate as part of their health care law suggests that Congress had a "rational basis" for imposing a similar mandate in its law.
Obamacare is bad law constitutionally, bad policy, and it is bad for Americas families, Romney said.

I hate the RomneyCare law, but isn’t that a matter of the state of MA constitution, while ObamaCare is under the US Constitution?
I’d need to have knowledge of the MA constitution, and its language on mandates, before commenting further.
That said, Coakley is a ditz, so if she is wrong in this filing, it would not surprise me.

Obamacare is bad law constitutionally, bad policy, and it is bad for Americas families, Romney said. Romney the politician:
"Obama's bad is worse than my bad".

“rational basis”
Wrong test. Since it violates the 5th amendment it has to satisfy a `compelling’ standard.

Who really cares?
It's socialistic in nature and that makes it a bad law either at the Federal or State level.
1. The law forces everyone under penalty of a huge fine to buy insurance.
2. The law steals from Taxpayers to subsidize insurance for those who "Can't Afford" it. Legal thievery is still thievery.
Bad law is Bad law no matter the jurisdiction.
To: Carling
Correct. By Coakley's warped reasoning, a federal judge could impose gay marriage on the nation as a whole because a state judge did the same thing in Massachussets.
Like a typical libtard, she doesn't understand the principle of federalism. As the chief law enforcement officer in the state, she should know better.

Who really cares? Well, as someone who believes in states' rights according to their constitutions, I care.
It's socialistic in nature and that makes it a bad law either at the Federal or State level.
That doesn't mean that it isn't constitutional under MA state law, and using MA state taxes for it, does it?
Bad law is Bad law no matter the jurisdiction
I agree with that, but that doesn't mean that "bad law" isn't "constitutional law" according to any given state, does it?
