Appointed by Obama because she willingly ignores
the US Constitution.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Audrey Fleissig cites a provision in the U.S. Constitution declaring that federal laws take precedence over contradictory state laws. But Fleissig emphasized that she was taking no position on the merits of the Obama administration policy....

Bullcrap.

Nomination to the federal district court

In February 2009, Fleissig submitted her resume for a federal district court vacancy in St. Louis to U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill. In August 2009, McCaskill personally interviewed Fleissig. After interviews with representatives of the United States Department of Justice and the White House, Fleissig was nominated on January 20, 2010 to the position by President Obama, to replace Judge E. Richard Webber, who took senior status on June 30, 2009.

On March 4, 2010, the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary sent Fleissig's nomination to the full Senate.

The full Senate confirmed Fleissig in a 90-0 vote on June 7, 2010. She received her commission on June 9, 2010.

It's going to be hard but we must kick these communists anti Constitutional judges off the bench. If we ever get control of the Senate and keep the House maybe impeachment is the proper process.

I’m not sure what the 10th Amendment issue would be given Justice Roberts decision upholding Federal jurisdiction under the commerce clause. The issues still left standing (so far) are the the first amendment issues and believe the Federal Circuits have gone both ways on this. It will certainly end up being decided by the USSC.

Your Honor? I don’t think so.

Shame on you Audrey.

This judge should have recused herself. She owes her job to Obama and is no more than a partisan political hack. She ignores the first element of the First Amendment, the obvious fact that the Constitution permits religious freedom and that a tyranical government is seeking to obliterate that freedom. This is the first step: soon Christian hospitals/doctors will be compelled to kill inconvenient unborn childrens. Eventually, churches will be shuttered if they refuses to recognize “marriage” between persons of the same sex. I never thought I would let myself think this: but sooner rather than later, we may be faced with civil conflict between Believers and the power of an all-powerful godless state. God help us. And don’t let them kill the Second Amendment.

So an insurance requirement is more important then the Constitution?

You are right on all counts.

The temperature of the water in the pot is steadily rising. How long before the frogs notice? Will it be too late?

:: cites a provision in the U.S. Constitution declaring that federal laws take precedence over contradictory state laws. ::

Uhhhhh, a constitutional scholar she ain’t.

The actuality of this is that a state law cannot nullify/contradict a law ^^codified in the US Constitution^^.

State Law cannot nullify the US Constitution but, according to 10A, a State law is perfectly fine in contravening a federal law that is not specified in the Constitution as long as the federal powers are not nullified in their enforcement powers.

As an example: Medical Marijuana.

The level of evil in today’s federal government is appalling. Freedom of religion is a fundamental, God-given right, and to trample that human right so that Sandra Fluke can party without paying for her own entertainment is reprehensible.

it conflicts with an insurance requirement under [Obamacare].

BUT 0bamacare is a tax, per the SCOUS.

So an insurance requirement is now a tax and more important than the Constitution?

From Wikipedia:

In February 2009, Fleissig submitted her resume for a federal district court vacancy in St. Louis to U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill. In August 2009, McCaskill personally interviewed Fleissig.

Now Missouri has the option to ignore the judges ruling as the constitution does not authorize ObamaCare.
