Florida AG Bondi to Newsmax: How We’ll Defeat Obamacare
.newsmax.com ^ | 23 Mar 2012 | Martin Gould and Kathleen Walter

President Barack Obama’s healthcare initiative is the biggest attempt at a government overreach in U.S. history, Pam Bondi, Florida’s attorney general, who is leading the fight against the program, tells Newsmax.TV.

And that is why Bondi is confident the Supreme Court will vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act after three days of hearings next week.

“We’re optimistic that they will rule in our favor because this is so much bigger than healthcare,” said Bondi in an exclusive interview. “It’s the biggest attempt at an overreach in our history. So we have to fight it and we have to stop it.

Complete video of yesterday’s anti-Obamacare Tea Party rally in DC. It was a high energy event and a very good turnout. Hermain Cain speaks near the end of the video:

Is this the same Pam Bondi who was bragging about RomneyCare a month ago?

She gave an interview and kept trying to “sell” RomneyCare as a good idea on the state level (for other states to adopt).

I hope Pam is right but I am less optimistic.

The history of the Supreme Court has been to support the increasing reach and power of the federal government, and ignore constitutional limits on federal power.

The prevailing court stance on the “commerce clause” places no practical limits at all on federal government over-reach.

When the Supreme Court decided the federal government has the power to dictate how much wheat you may grow on your own farm for local, itra-state, consumption because it affects inter-state commerce they abandoned any pretense of being a fair arbiter of constitutionality to become cheerleaders for the expansion of federal powers.

Since Bondi is the FL AG, is she going to be investigated by Just Us Holder due to this Zimmerman-Martin mess?

A related issue could be the matter of Obamacare forcing people to buy private insurance. This would seemingly violate a basic principle of contract law. I have no legal training but do know that a contract is a mutual agreement between two parties.

“I hope Pam is right but I am less optimistic.

Right you are.

Just look what they did with the Kelo decision.

No way to predict at this point. But one factor working in our favor (and it has nothing to do with law and much to do with emotions) is the nose-rubbing that the Obama administration has given to the conservative members of the Court. Perhaps, just perhaps, they have enough dander worked up to “push back”.

As important as the Obamacare decision will be, there is another issue coming down the pike that has the potential to become “the decision of the century”, perhaps as was the Dredd Scott decision for the nineteenth century. It may be years away yet, but it will be the Court’s opinion on whether “National Popular Vote” (the movement by which states will collude to circumvent the Electoral College) is ruled to be Constitutional or not....

That’s the decision that may indeed kindle the next “secession”....

I heard Laura Ingraham say that she thinks i will go 7-2 and not in a good way. Paul Gigot feels the same way and said it’s becoming the belief of most Washington Conservatives. They both doubt that Kennedy will be the swing vote because that would look much too political. Daniel Hennigan said that if this law stands we are France.

George Will wrote a good article the other day about 0-care’s violation of basic contract law. Essentially basic contract law holds that neither party can be coerced into entering into a private contract. And because the mandate demands that individuals enter into private contracts with insurance companies, these contracts are void if one party objects.
The bottom line is that if the mandate prevails for whatever reason, the Constitution will be void, and there will be no limits on government. It would then be the obligation of the citizen to resist, obfuscate and overthrow such an illegal government.

MassachusettsMandate Mitt Fascists vs. Federal Communists. Both totally against individual rights, and The Bill of Rights.

The Fascists would like to “appear” it going to “states.” When in fact it goes to big fascists “insurance” companies, telling us what to do, for their own investments NOT health.

The Federal Communists, want the Federal government under duress and threat of force, to leach right into everyones savings directly..... 15 trillion of them.

They’re trying to propaganda the issue into only the two above, in attempt to take over every persons body. Right out of the Satanic Hitler hell book. Period.

Pam Bondi looks like a Hooters waitress.

I don’t allow Hooters waitresses to dictate if/when I can receive medical care, based on age/cost charts.

Nor would I allow a skinny moslem communist married to Sasquatch to dictate my medical care.

The commies just don’t get it. They’re delighted to crush the life/liberty of 300,000,000 Americans.... as long as there’s no consequence to themselves.

But the moment we say “Try that, and we’ll make sure you suffer consequence X Y and maybe even Z,” they get verrrrry worried, b/c they know they’re trying to oppress three hundred MILLION Americans, and we’re not going down without the fight of our lives.

Just like moslems, the communists are cowards — only effective in mobs, and only effective when the game is rigged in their favor.

Moslems and communists are easily routed when you take the fight to them. They scatter like spooked cockroaches.

It’s our obligation to periodically remind moslems, and communists, that we weren’t placed on this earth to become lab rats for their Islamonazi and Marxist experiments.

If Marco Rubio becomes Vice President, Pam Bondi may be the next U.S. Senator from Florida.
