“Gibbsy and the Administration will continue to yap about all of their Constitutional authority to mandate healthcare right up until the time that the Supreme Court finally shoots this down in flames.”
Do you really believe that?......Do you think this will go to the Supreme Court and be dismissed as unconsitutional?....I have my doubts, but I hope your words are prophetic.......
After the embarrassing display by Obummer toward the Supreme Court in his SOTU address, if I were a member of the SCOTUS, I would be mad as hell at the prez...even if I were a liberal member of that court because he not only insulted the ones voted in the majority decision, he insulted them all!
I do think this will ultimately be found unconstitutional, especially if the Administration tries to go in and argue this as arrogantly as they are right now.
Let’s not forget that SCOTUS is the Third branch of the Government, and the Justices understand that fact, and are not about to be bullied. A lot depends on what points are going to be argued, but in short the Cort has never upheld an order like this one, that requires a citizen to buy a product.
Remember, this is almost the exact argument that led to the original Boston Tea Party, as the British Government required the colonists to buy British tea, and pay a British tax upon it. That is why we have specific protections against acts exactly like that in the Constitution.
The only person I have heard so far put up any argument about this is Gibbs; and the Press Secretary is not the guy who will be arguing this in Court. I’m not out of hope for a resolution on this, and I am confident that SCOTUS sees this bill in an entirely different light than Premier Hussein and Comrade Peloski do.
