In his recent decision in Virginia v. Sebelius declaring the linchpin of Obamacare -- the individual mandate -- unconstitutional, Judge Henry Hudson wrote, "The unchecked expansion of congressional power to the limits suggested by [the individual mandate provision] would invite unbridled exercise of federal police powers."

“Besides giving jurisdiction to the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services, Obamacare creates 159 new agencies. Obama-care’s investigative tentacles would be everywhere under standards reminiscent of the odious Writs of Assistance”.


This is obamanation/terror-care. forced on us by a muslim elected by Negros, Mexicans who could not read, and young people (fed propaganda through liberal education) who jumped off their IPod long enough to vote.

As a Freeper reminded me, I’m not in politics, so I don’t have to be politically correct..

The bullying can end when they are sworn in if they have backbone.
