At about the time that a federal judge in Michigan cleared for appeal another legal challenge to President Obama's signature work, Obamacare, a poll revealed that more than half of likely voters believe the U.S. Supreme Court should review the law's thousands of pages.

The poll by Tea Party TV, a project of Pajamas Media, surveyed nationwide 1,000 likely voters and found that 53 percent of the respondents believe the high court should address questions raised about the law.

The assessment was done Oct. 10 by Pulse Opinion Research, an independent public opinion research firm using automated methodology licensed from the polling firm Rasmussen Reports. It has a margin of error of three points.

Critics of the law are questioning whether the government has authority to demand that consumers purchase a product like health insurance. If so, they ask, what other products could the government demand consumers purchase?

Conservatives who take their business to the courts are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

Even if we win, we lose, because the idea that major social and political decisions rightly belong to the Supreme Court is reinforced.

The People of the United States have all the power they need to restore the Republic.

They just have to learn to use it.

BAD IDEA - this thing should decided by the public debate and vote of the people - not crammed down our throats by Congress, the “president”, or “decided” by federal courts.

Had they done their job this socialist law would have never seen the light of day. Let the people of these United States decide by sending real patriotic congressmen/women to Congress and clean out this garbage.

Good idea. The US Supreme Court is one of the major 3 powers of US government and it is their duty to correct unconstitutional laws enacted by the other 2, the US Congress and the Exectutive branch.
The real question is will they make a just decision or allow this unconstitutional law to stand. There are so many liberal communists in all three branches who disregard the original intent of the Constitution. The next stand will be the states and if they fail, then the people.
That would probably come to civil war if all else fails.

The people have been conditioned, like a Stockholm Syndrome, they haven’t even rejected the naked scanners. There is absolutely no reason for them to see your naked body on those screens, they just want to cow you.

Assuming Obama will veto any bill pertaining to stopping the health-care bill,wouldn’t plan B involve taking the case to the supreme court? That would be another Inependence Day for all of us!

I’m not saying don’t try — I’m saying don’t expect SCOTUS to rule the way America wants.
