yes it’s the Michigan case.
This is so perverse. How can any judge at the Federal level, who is supposed to understand the intent of the Constitution, interpret the Commerce Clause, of all things, as a loophole that somehow allows for the unlimited expansion of Federal authority?
As the dissenting judge notes: “If the exercise of power is allowed and the mandate upheld, it is difficult to see what the limits on Congress’s Commerce Clause authority would be,” Graham wrote. “What aspect of human activity would escape federal power?”
Carter: still f*cking us up from beyond the political grave since 1981!
At the speed the founders must be rolling over, surely there is some way to wrap them in copper wire and use them to generate electricity.
Any and all federal judges that vote to uphold the individuals mandate are in violation of their oath and should be impeached.
Next they will say shoving people into ovens is okay under the Commerce Clause, if it reduces costs and is in the general welfare.
Tritors. Impeach and remove them all.
A Carter judge and a G.W. Bush judge.
Bush is among the worst presidents in American history, that is a fact.
Maybe they’re the reason for all the earthquakes lately.
The super wealthy insiders in the corrupt insurance industry, paid off the judges and government politicians, are partying tonight!
If they don't pay, fine them, jail them or seize their assets.
Ya know where this is going.
By law, they will force you to pay or else.
No joke.
The majority are donkey headed flatulence laden pond scum snarfing pox ridden sons of whores.
It was interesting that the George W. appointee clerked for Scalia, and wrote essentially that plaintiffs had not put on a sufficient case. He stated that the ruling did not preclude “individual” actions by other plaintiffs after the mandate is effective and it becomes clear how it affects particular individuals.

wow...and that’s their good points
Bull. He put Alito on SCOTUS, replacing that dolt Sandra Day O'Connor. She, a Reagan appointee, did more damage than this clown on the Sixth Circuit.
I think it’s time we consider what we are going to do if the Supreme Court does uphold this. I personally think at that point, it will time for some Civil Disobediance. The idea I have is, regardless of whether you have health insurance or not, when you get to the section on the 1040 where you must provide you insurance information or calculate your fine, Take out a black magic marker and block out the entire section, like on a redacted document. Don’t write anything, just a huge black filled in box over the section and any other lines that reference penalties regarding health insurance. I guarantee, someone WILL see it because it will be kicked out of the IRS’s automated form readers (also causing them huge headaches and backlogs hand processing the returns). Of course if only a few hundred or thousand people do this, probably all you will end up with is an audit. But if even a couple million did this it would certainly send a message.
I’m not advocating violence, but if the Civil War II kicks off in my lifetime, I will make it my personal goal to bring some of these liberal judges to justice.
I’m thinking if Social Security and Medi-Care are legal to subtract from your check then so will be Health Insurance. Any other ruling would put the entire socialist machine at risk.
Slowly gnawing away the Constitution.

I say we all by powdered wigs and black robes. Then we make our own decision as to the application of The Constitution.
Can you imagine that - hundreds of people showing up dressed as Citizen Judges to protest.
Bush put us trillions more in debt, created new entitlements bankrupting us, and has brought Iran far more power in its region, allowed the banks to nearly destroy the world economy with leveraged derivative on fraudulent debt instruments. His putting some good judges on the bench does not erase the stench, there are plenty of bad ones. But we can leave that for another thread.
DICK-TATERS all.
Need legal eagle help here...what are the predictive steps from here to SCOTUS for this? I’m not legal-savvy enough to predict nor explain this...any help out there would be appreciated.
