Appeals panel hearing ObamaCare suit comprised of 2 Obama nominees and a Clinton nominee
Washington Examiner ^ | May 10, 2011 | Philip Klein

A three-judge federal appeals panel comprised of two Obama nominees and a Clinton nominee will hear arguments later this morning in two lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the national health care law.

The makeup of the U.S. Fourth Circuit of Appeals panel is crucial, because in lower court rulings so far, Democratic judges have upheld the law while Republican judges have declared it unconstitutional.

The judges on the panel will be Obama nominees James A. Wynn, Jr and Andre M. Davis, who will sit on the panel along with Clinton nominee Diana Gribbon Motz.

>Right now,in spite of the Dem and MSM lies,the smart money is on Obama getting his evil butt kicked in 2012.<

Although Obama has poll numbers that show his favorable numbers lower than most presidents at this point in their tenure - I worry that the GOP will not put anyone up that will attract enough enthusiasm to beat him.

According to the Fourth Circuit, the panel is chosen by "a computer program designed to achieve total random selection." ---------The judges were "Chosen by computer at random and yet they all happen to be appointed by Democrats and 2 by Obama"? Who in their right mind believes that??? The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats and yet not one Republican was "chosen at random" by the computer.

When do we see this horror show impact the zerObots?

Last summer, I was researching home treatments for a minor problem. I ran into several message boards populated by Medicaid recipients. Every last one of them was complaining about long wait times to see an MD or DDS, lack of any dental or vision care available unless they were on full welfare benefits, no general anesthesia for tooth extraction on Medicaid,having to travel 50 miles or more to specific government clinics in order to get treatment. This is all prior to full implementation of zerOcare. I thought I had fallen down the rabbit hole and was listening to Brit complaints about NHS.

I believe most of these posters were in the southern part of the Midwest US, perhaps Missouri and Arkansas. There were a few rants about how they couldn’t believe US medical care was so poor, but that was because they expect all the benefits of modern medicine, immediately, from competent professionals, on their own schedule, conveniently and for free.

Oh, and they were trading information on how to manage various pain conditions with Oxycontin, Percocet and similar drugs, which were evidently freely available to them, either from leftover prescriptions or on the street.

If conservatives ever regain the Exec and Congressional branches, we should disband all of the Appeals Courts and start over; appoint constitutionalists.

Let the rats bark at the moon. They have so corrupted and soiled our judiciary, there is only one option, get rid of them.

Oh, and another advantage, no impeachments required. Just pay ‘em their salaries as non-judges.

Once again sadly demonstrating that all judging is political these days.

Fortunately I believe a majority of the 4th Circuit is still conservative, so the decision of this random liberal panel may itself be overturned by an en banc court. But ultimately it is of no consequence since SCOTUS has the final word.

"we need the 2nd circuit"

I'd rather a short circuit.

Yeah, they'll be fair.....just like the judge who threw out DADT, who was a homosexual.
And he got away with it. Not one GOP had any complaints.
