Why the Supreme Court Will Strike Down All of Obamacare

Barack Obama made a national laughingstock out of himself with his recent comments on the Obamacare law now before the Supreme Court. Obama said on Monday, “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” (emphasis added)

Excellent, relatively brief, highly readable explanation of why SCOTUS may well invalidate Obamacare.

“...by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”

Someone help me out here...aren’t we a republic?

[Izzy Dunne]

Well, there you have it.

The constitutionality of a law depends upon how "strong" the majority was that passed it.

[unkus]

))))PING((((

[MestaMachine]

As opposed to how strongly the American electorate was AGAINST it.

[ngat]

We were until 1860.

I wish the Supremes would sink Obamacare, but I have my doubts. Still, a good bi*ch slapping of Obama by the Supremes (legally of course) would be sweet.

At this point, there is no one willing to stand up against this dictator wannabe. Congress is useless. I hope the SC will do what is right.

The Republic died with the fraudulent passage of the 17th amendment.

>"passed by a strong majority"

LIE!

Murtha ramrodded it down our throat with an audible vote, and he committed TREASON at that!

[Carriage Hill]

We were. It’s almost gone, now.

Remember Ben Frranklin’s admonishment, after the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787? “We have given you a Republic, m’am, if you can keep it.”

Three pages. But very interesting. Thanks!

[commish]

Excellent article and 100% spot on!

[sport]

I would not bet the farm that they will. In fact, if I was a betting man,I would bet that they find some excuse to uphold it.

[Carriage Hill]

Mercifully, he’s dead, but his treason will live for a long, long time, in many ways.

[Hotlanta Mike]

How about the fact that the 2,700 pages were all patched together from various authors and also empowers the HHS to write the rules as they go?

Strike it down en tot and force those CongressCritters to bring it to the floor again, sans individual mandate, if they dare.

[Sacajaweau]

cUZ THERY’RE NOT GOING TO READ 2700 PAGES.

Obama’s attack on the SCOTUS wasn't done in ignorance of the law but to convince the ignorant that the court's decision to strike down Obamacare would throw thousands of sick people into the street with no medical care. I believe Obama was leaked the Court's decision by Justice Kagan and has begun campaign damage control. Note the Republican leadership did not raise any issue about Obama’s wild accusations and demagoguery and just continued to play their role as Emperor Obama’s court eunuchs. It was the judges of 5th District Court of Appeals that had the guts to show the utter falsity of Obama’s comments.

—But he figures he can safely assume a majority of you know nothing about it, and his party controlled media will not tell you anything concerning it at this inopportune moment. Hence, another classic example of what I have called Calculated Deception.—

Yeah, Dan Rather found out the hard way that the internet has changed that formula. :-)

It's vital that they do. Dictator-in-waiting (only he's not waiting) Obama seems willing and eager to sweep aside the majority of the American people, the congress, and the high courts.

219-212 is a “strong majority”.
The Line Item Veto passed the House with Unanimous Consent.
