Exactly!
Yep. It was illegal from the get-go.
Zero never let that pesky constitution stand in his way...why start ow?
While this may be true, it seems that most continue to miss the main point.
There is no Enumerated Power in the Constitution that allows the national government to be involved in programs to meet the health care needs of individual Americans.
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
- James Madison, father of the U.S. Constitution
Remember a few years ago in central america when some other 3rd world despot refused to leave office and the Congress moved to have the army remove him? Do you recall what government supported the despot saying the Congress there overstepped its bounds, of course the sheer hypocracy of not mentioning the despot’s refusal to leave office notwithstanding? None other then the tin pot petty dictator we have now. In fact, tin pot is too kind for him pisspot fits the bill better.
Great summary! The law that Obama changed is not the exact same law the SCOTUS created, and, the President cannot single-handedly change a law after it was passed, signed and reviewed by the SCOTUS. The whole mess is unconstitutional. This article needs to go viral.
Finally! Obamacare, if a tax, is unconstitutional!
That is also true!
“Tax legislation has to originate in the House; the health-care law didn’t.”
Before it was signed it was carefully stated to NOT be a tax. Only when the SC ruled did it become a tax.
If the Supreme Court "ruled" that up was down, and down was up, up would remain up, and down would remain down.
We've got to get over the false notion that the Supreme Court rules us. They are "supreme" only over the lower courts, not over the other branches of government, and most certainly not over the Constitution, the support of which every officer of government in this country is required to swear a sacred oath.
ping for later
Excellent argument. BUT, why so long after the fact and not until America has been brought to her knees is this finally being brought to the front?
AND, it seems to me that this could and SHOULD have been a republican battle cry, shouted every day from day one.
The Politics of the Government Shutdown
The Budget Fight and Obama’s Vindictive Streak (Jonah Goldberg)
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
You are 100% correct. It’s unconstitutional, and should be struck down.
Unfortunately, the Supremes decided to make it constitutional, and here we sit. The bums who want a free ride, and take the RAT buses in to vote - won.
The so-called Conservatives and RINOs who were too lazy to vote, stabbed us all in the back. Simply stated, there are more of US than there are of THEM.
But, based upon the voter roles, most of US are too #$%@& lazy to get off our collective asses and to the polls to cast our vote. I suspect we are among the minority of conservatives to did vote.
I thought that that fraud Harry Reid took a bill he got from the House, stripped its original contents out, inserted his piece of crap into it, thereby making it a bill that ‘originated’ in the House.
IMHO, maybe Roberts did this ON PURPOSE. Due to whatever circumstances made him change his vote (possible blackmail)
by saying it was a tax, it could LATER be EASILY overturned by USSC under that rule of all taxes originate in the House.
This opened the door for repeal with a-wink-and-nod from Roberts. The minute the FIRST person is “taxed” is when it can be taken to court. No one has been “taxed” so far, so it can’t be brought before the USSC YET under the House tax thingee.
Well Oct 1st has arrived. The first actual payee would THEN have “standing” to take Obamacare to court.
Any FReeper constitutional lawyer types out there know about this??
Read my post #18. IMHO, No one has been “taxed” yet to have “standing”.
Of course Roberts should have known that from his original opinion, it's a rare chance for a do over for.. If he fails the test again, there needs to be a major investigation (yeah right, honest Investigation in AmeriKa) on what dirt Obama has on him.
