Following the ruling today out of the Northern District Court in Florida on the Affordable Care Act, Tracy Schmaler, Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs released the following statement:
“The department intends to appeal this ruling to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
“We strongly disagree with the court’s ruling today and continue to believe – as other federal courts have found – that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional. This is one of a number of cases pending before courts around the country, including several that the government has won in the district courts that are now before the courts of appeals. There is clear and well-established legal precedent that Congress acted within its constitutional authority in passing this law and we are confident that we will ultimately prevail on appeal.”
“We are analyzing this opinion to determine what steps, if any – including seeking a stay – are necessary while the appeal is pending to continue our progress toward ensuring that Americans do not lose out on the important protections this law provides, that the millions of children and adults who depend on Medicaid programs receive the care the law requires, and that the millions of seniors on Medicare receive the benefits they need.”

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Why do they need a stay if there is no injunction included?
Because the Judge ruled the entire Law NULL and VOID?
Thugs.
Out of control DOJ, headed by a Marxist, anti-Constituion, terrorist sympathizer, Eric Holder.
IMPEACH.
Why not? It infuriates our side, and keeps their billy-goat followers from using the exhaust pipe for an air freshener.
Where's the picture of Baghdad Bob?

For those who can read, the US constitution is not that hard to understand. Article 1, section 8, parts of 9, and parts of 10 and a few amendments spell out what the federal government can do. The big one is Article 1, section 8.
I have read the constitution numerous times over the last couple of years. Nowhere in there will you find congress authorized to pass laws regarding health care or health insurance in any capacity with or without an individual mandate.
They have no constitutional, or legal, ground to stand on when contemplating regulating health care or health insurance.
Of course, I’m just some dude who thinks words mean things and the original intent of the constitution is understandable from reading those words.
No wonder the left is at war with literacy, as well as freedom and liberty, property rights, natural rights, and all that is good in the universe.
There is no question the mandate is unconstitutional. None.
They will need a stay the way I read it. He says the government must abide by his ruling now even though he did not issue an injunction.
Wow!
Flee Levin, on his radio show, just mentioned that the judge issued a federal order. Even Hussein can't go against it otherwise contempt charges could be brought.
