I think this is the same Court that was overturned in Heller vs DC. They don't read the Constitution.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Panel of.3 or en banc? Idiot judges strike again.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Kagan needs to recuse herself before this goes to SCOTUS.

If SCOTUS rules in favor of ObamaCare put a fork in America no one can overturn the hell to come.

The mindset is that of disregard for the Constitution.
They know what’s in it, they just put its authority way down the list from their own “intellect” and ability to make ad hoc decisions to shape society.

“The right to be free from federal regulation is not absolute and yields to the imperative that Congress be free to forge national solutions to national problems,” Judge Laurence Silberman, an appointee of President Ronald Reagan, wrote in the 2-1 opinion. Silberman was joined by Judge Harry Edwards, a Carter appointee.

This does not bode well for us.

If the US Gov’t can mandate we buy Medical Insurance; they then can mandate we buy only GM cars/trucks, purchase certain Foods, consumer electronics - why, the USA will become the beacon of Eutopia that the USSR currently enjoys. Just ask any Russian immigrant how great that will be. < /s>

I can think of no better evidence to disbar a judge, this is pretty much a Constitutional litmus test - and the judge failed. Perhaps there is a career for him at McDonalds.

[Logical me]

These communists have ignored the Constitution and will never change. If they do not succeed this time to destroy America they will just try again. Satan never quits.

[sickoflibs]

Definitely going to be a 5-4 SCOTUS decision.

So the Government can now force you to eat broccoli or drive a Chevy. Sounds like Communism to me.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A conservative-leaning panel of federal appellate judges on Tuesday upheld President Barack Obama's health care law as constitutional, helping set up a Supreme Court fight.

A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion upholding the lower court's ruling... (emphasis mine)

What unmitigated gall.

Appeals Court Upholds Obama Health Care Law

WASHINGTON — A conservative-leaning panel of federal appellate judges is upholding President Barack Obama’s health care law as constitutional, helping set up a Supreme Court fight.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a split opinion Tuesday upholding the law. The court agreed to dismiss a Christian legal group’s lawsuit claiming the requirement that all Americans get health insurance is unconstitutional and violates religious freedom.

NEVER EVER rely on the courts to overthrow bad laws.

When he was running for president, George Bush called the McCain-Feingold ban on soft money a suicidal move for Republicans. His conservative supporters hated the bill and never forgave McCain. Yet as president Bush signed it, merely complaining that the bill was “flawed,” but those parts he didn’t like would likely be shot down by the Supreme Court. By signing it Bush could look bipartisan at a time when he was attracting major criticism for his actions leading to the pending Iraq war.

Laurence H. Silberman is not a conservative. He is an insider. He has played more roles in Washington than most Beltway bandits.

Best bet is that he will always vote in favor of the government, and the more government, the better.

What good is a law if they can't enforce it.

I will NOT submit to this kind of tyranny. I WILL decide what is best for me and my family without government healthcare.

I WILL defend it with my 2nd amendment right. Darken my door step and find out!
