ObamacareĀ“s Coming Year of Living Dangerously
American Spectator ^ | 12/29/2014 | David Catron

Posted on 12/29/2014 5:15:32 AM PST by rootin tootin

Recent news coverage concerning Obamacare’s legal difficulties has been dominated by King v. Burwell, which challenges the controversial IRS decision to issue subsidies and penalties through federally created insurance exchanges in 34 states that refused set up PPACA “marketplaces.” The Supreme Court announced last month that it would take up King, and it will hear oral arguments in March. The alacrity with which the Court took up the case, upon which it will hand down a ruling in June, has rendered the law’s supporters nearly hysterical. But King is by no means the only legal threat Obamacare will face next year.

Ironically, considering the number of apocalyptic headlines it has produced, King v. Burwell probably presents less danger to the “reform” law than either of two additional lawsuits the Court could take up in 2015. The justices have already received a cert petition to hear Coons v. Lew, whose plaintiffs hold that Obamacare's Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) constitutes a violation of the separation of powers doctrine. And it is a virtual certainty that the Court will also be asked to take up Sissel v. HHS, which challenges the law on the grounds that its passage violated the Constitution’s origination clause.

The odds that the Supreme Court overturns any part of Obamacare are small. If I had to guess, the case with the best shot is King. If the Court is going to be literal about what the mandate is then there is a shot that the Court views the subsidy issue literally. In that case, King wins and the funding of subsidies and collection of taxes is thrown into chaos.

It’s time we “all” step-away from the computer keyboards and RALLY at Courthouses & Overpasses across America on 2015-01-03 ...

... and put ASIDE the petty fights between “Tea Party” LEADERS and Groups based on bruised egos and financial conflicts !!!


Obama’s illegal amnesty is a dire threat to American’s constitutional republic; we’re amazed and shocked that virtually no one in the GOP has the raw courage to check Obama’s excursion into tyranny.

Clearly, with the GOP’s pathetic political surrender (Boehner & McConnell) ... “We Patriots” must rise in DEFIANCE against Obama’s pillaging of the U.S. Constitution.

Who am I, this event’s organizer ? A simple Patriot, Aerospace Mechanical Engineer ... I am CHALLENGING “all” Patriots and Groups and LEADERS to put aside their PETTY personal conflicts and differences ... AND JOIN THIS FIGHT.

Contact your Group’s leadership and urge them to march with US on Saturday 2015-01-03.

National (local) rallies is scheduled for Jan-3, 2015 (Saturday a week on 2015-01-03).

Can you take a moment out of a busy Christmas - New Year’s holiday season and help promote this crucial series of national rallies on 2015-01-03 ?

Momentum is building “nationally” for the rallies, and it’s already scheduled for at least one radio interview on Monday.

Go outside Facebook to engage your friends and local Tea Party folks to participate.

You’re encouraged to call into Mark Levin’s radio show, as well as Eric Erickson, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Shawn Hannity, Joe Pags, Mark Davis (etc) as well as your local conservative radio talk show hosts.

As Ronald Reagan said ... “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when No One’s interested in getting the credit.”


As you’ll see below, I’m not asking for any $$$ financial donations. Ever.

Godspeed.

4) Express our Patriots’ DEFIANT OUTRAGE ... in the face of BITTER COLD WINTER, just as Generals Washington and Patton won GREAT victories at Trenton (Christmas 1776) and Bastogne (Battle of the Bulge, Christmas 1944).


On Saturday Jan. 3, 2015 ... we will ALL STAND DEFIANT in the BRAVE tradition of American Patriots before us ... our fathers and grandfathers ... at Valley Forge, Yorktown, the Battle of New Orleans, San Juan Hill, Belleau Wood, Midway, Omaha Beach, Iwo Jima, Chosin Reservoir, Battle of Ia Drang, and Battle of 73 Easting.

Even if the Supremes don’t kill Obamacare, I think it is doomed by systemic failures. I see no chance of it meeting its minimum survival numbers.

Obamacare may have systemic failures but some of them could be corrected by Congress. The question is whether the Republicans are willing to let Obamacare die or whether they’ll pass fixes for it.

Agreed. The rule of law is on life support.
