>> Ingham Circuit Judge James Giddings has ruled that requiring Michigan school employees to pay 3 percent of their wages for health-care coverage in retirement is unconstitutional since the health benefit isn’t guaranteed.
Sounds like a case to be made against Obamacare.
It's as simple as that.
Declare a budget emergency. Shut off the heat and the a/c. No more paper for the photocopiers. No more paperclips. No more parking spots.
F**k ‘em.
Good solution. Best to avoid any plans that might be unconstitutional. We wouldn’t want that now, would we?
Funny, I thought that's why they call it "insurance," a way to manage and disperse pooled risks. The judge thinks charging for insurance is illegal? WTF??
1 - If I win, I rule.
2 - If I lose, I sue, then the courts declare me the winner, then I rule.
3 - If I lose before the courts, I revolt, declare myself the winner, then I rule.
requiring Michigan school employees to pay 3 percent of their wages for health-care coverage in retirement is unconstitutional since the health benefit isn't guaranteed.That makes no sense at all. But the judge is clearly a Democrat. I saw state "workers" picketing downtown this PM, the most poignant B.S. I saw on one of the signs was "Some Cuts Don't Heal". Some years ago (a Republican was governor then, too, WEIRD COINCIDENCE) the most revelatory picket sign I remember was "Overtime Is Not The Answer (But the Pay for Overtime IS)". Thanks Libloather.
Is that the dumbest reason ever? Where do they get these judges? Stupid doesn’t begin to describe him.
“The left’s strategy hasn’t changed in the last forty years. When opposing the will of the people, engage the judiciary appointed by the last leftist. Ignore the legislative process.”
I believe this is known as “legislating from the bench”, a favorite Democrap tactic. Much like “indoctrinating from the classroom” and “controlling the message” in the media.
Laws are “Unlawful”. Go figure.
Now riddle me this, the judge ruled because he says the legislature has the unfettered discretion to take benefits away -
But it doesn’t have the discretion to charge 3% ?!
It’s starting to get personal.
I hate unions. May they all come to a bad end, soon.
Just eliminate the health benefit.

The solution is simple to reign in judicial activism, the legislative branch just refuses to do it. All that is necessary is to escort the offending judge in front of a oversight committee, read him or her the riot act for overstepping their jurisdiction, and then defund their court and have other courts take up their cases. After a few of these examples, the judicial branch would start to clue in that they are not the ones making or funding the laws.
Just impeach them.
At this point, I say let the money run out and the checks stop.
WTH is this fool talking about? Under his ruling SS is also an “unconstitutional deduction” since there is no guarantee that you will ever get the money you paid in.
This judge has proven he is a fool and a tool. Just what is with these leftist morons? If he is an elected judge...elect him out onto the streets.
agree with this.... so now can we stop paying SS taxes???
Must be great to be a judge and pull laws out of your ass.
