Rush on ObamaCare Decision

Obama Legacy?: LARGEST Tax Increase in HISTORY !!!!

Remember George Bush (41) saying “Read my Lips… no new taxes!!

The critical decision by a majority on the Supreme Court to treat the individual mandate included in President Barack Obama’s health care law as a constitutionally justified tax is at direct odds with how the president defended the legislation in 2009 as he was working to wrangle sufficient votes to get it passed.

Shortly after Obama took to the House chamber to deliver a speech before a joint session of Congress in September 2009, he sat down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos for an interview on the subject.

Stephanopoulos pressed the president on how he could keep his promise not to raise taxes on most Americans, but require they be fined if they don’t carry health insurance.

ObamaCare: Penalty vs. Tax??

In the 2400 pages of this obamanation piece of legislation, does it not state that if one fails to have health insurance, they will be penalized! If it is stated therein, how then can the Court deem this a TAX? Just wondering!?

And of course, how do all the Dems who voted for this now justify this TAX INCREASE??

Countdown on ObamaCare: SCOTUS Session Ends on June 25th !!

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON !!

With just over two weeks left in the Supreme Court’s session, the anticipation is growing for the Court’s decision on the constitutionality of OBAMACARE.

The President is already gearing for a defeat, telling donors he needs another term to correct it. Can we afford that?

Politico: Judge Vinson’s “Shout Out” to the Tea Party Movement

A tea party shoutout

From the Vinson ruling:

It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate givingthe East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place.

If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failingto engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be “difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power” [Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only. Surely this is not what the Founding Fathers could have intended.

Florida Judge Rules ObamaCare UNCONSTITUTIONAL

     The lawsuit filed in the federal court in Florida, with a total of 26 states particpating, has now dealt a blow to the Obama administration. The court has ruled that the mandate in ObamaCare that everyone MUST buy health insurance oversteps the boundaries of Congress’ powers.

      Lacking a severability clause, the ruling states that the entire law is unconstitutional. However, the request for an injunction to stop the implementation of ObamaCare was denied, primarily because the bulk of the law does not go into affect until 2014.

       While the Supreme Court could hear this case on an expedited basis, the Obama Justice Department has already indicated in other ObamaCare rulings that it would not pursue expedited review, wanting instead to make sure the legislation was still on the books as legitimate, at least through the 2012 election cycle.
