The Supreme Court said Monday it will hear a challenge to the health-care overhaul act passed in 2010, with a decision on President Obama’s most controversial domestic achievement likely to come in the summer of his reelection campaign.
Opponents have called the massive new law, with its central mandate that almost all Americans have health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty, an unprecedented expansion of the national government.

they’ll find part of it Constitutional and part of it not as to throw a bone to pubbies and rats so both sides can
scurry back to their constituents to claim victory.
“an unprecedented expansion of the national government”
Eh, it’s probably been done before, in some form. Our government has done everything you can imagine and then some. If so, it was unconstitutional then, too, is all.
Kagan and Sotomayor.
Looks like they will slide it in before anyone realizes Kagan should recuse herself

BOTTOM LINE: STATES RIGHTS SHOULD RULE NO MATTER WHAT.
5.5 oral arguments in March...
Still too long to wait this country is in peril.Talk to mortgage companies taking calls from people losing they’re jobs.As well as grocery prices are so high and costs rising...Obama left the upper middle class poor and to survive on they’re own while he vacays in Hawaii.Small businesses shutting down....no one can afford health care...
FUBO!
Right....
Holder sure tried to cover for her: “She was out of the room when we talked about those things.”
RLY? Way back then you knew she would be on SCOTUS?
Replaced by whom? OWS people? Read up on the French revolution ....they acted on your impulse
We have been waiting for this for a long time.
These spoiled job-for-life babies will, according to The Washington Times, START to hear arguments in March 2012 and hand down a decision in June. In the meantime, the mills grind slowly forward, money is spent, decisions are made and lives change while scotus members smoke their cigars, drink their wine and eat their expensive meals, create and read reams of paper and take their leisure. Pass the Pokers Please.
Hmm, Sounds like Anthony Kennedy wanted people to start kissing his butt again. How nice...The John McCain equivalent on the SCOTUS.
My thoughts exactly...5.5 hours of oral arguments in March while the country goes to hell in an Obama MSM hand cart.
It is so pathetic and sad many do not have a job and have to call they’re mortgage companies and tell them they can barely afford to eat much less pay the mortgage.Have you seen the price of meat in grocery stores?And the stores are all decorated for Christmas while Sears offers layaway.What part of people will be happy to eat a ham on Christmas day and don’t have the 1000’s of dollars to put a bunch of gifts under a tree in fakeness while Obama vacays in Hawaii don’t they get?
That reminds me of a complaint I made many times over house Republicans. They passed a bill with a full repeal of O-care that naturally died, then they just gave up. They should have passed a bill that allows states to completely opt-out as if it had never been passed, rather than depending on hopeless efforts to repeal it for ALL states. That would be harder for Democrats to oppose politically than a full repeal.
If states could opt out, it would be more interesting.
But congressional Republicans dont seem to understand how to fight, and probably dont support states rights anyway.
I am on edge....anxious for the ruling but worried
What we have right now is a collection of tongue-tied, weak-kneed, invertebrate castrati who react to principles like Count Dracula responded to daylight.
Again how did they know that Kagen needed to be removed from discussions of Obamacare before she became a USSC Justice?
Check out this video of Sen. Lee (R-Utah) asking Holder a question about Obamacare. His question begins at 111:00 into the video.
If the government can force you to buy things, what’s left of Freedom?
