A federal appeals court on Friday said it will not reconsider a 2014 ruling that held Obamacare didn’t violate the Constitution’s “origination clause” requiring the House to kickstart revenue-raising bills, despite the law’s tax on people who do not obtain health insurance.

The issue split the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, however, and attorneys driving the challenge say they’ll fight on.

Do you think if Obama was no longer in office the court would
have looked at the case?

This is what became PPACA
H.R. 3590--A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify 
    the first-time homebuyers credit in the case of members of the 
    Armed Forces and certain other Federal employees, and for other 
    purposes; to the Committee on Ways and Means

H.R. 3590

What the Senate returned to the House

Since then Obama has repeatedly and illegally modified the Act that he signed into effect.

It's not a law. It's an assault.

The court is correct. The only basis for overturning the law is the old “Constitution.” This administration has proven that to be overtaken by events and no longer in force.

The law now is what the Democrats say it is.
