Obamacare declared unconstitutional in US District Court
Examiner ^ | 1-31-11 | Michael Francis

Posted on 01/31/2011 3:16:14 PM PST by gaexaminer

In his decision in the case of Florida v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson stated that the "individual mandate" which would force consumers to purchase some form of health insurance was in violation of the Commerce Clause and cited numerous examples where such government expansion of powers was deemed to be out of order. He also stated that "(I)t would be a radical departure from existing case law to hold that Congress can regulate inactivtity under the Commerce Clause" which could then extend beyond any rational enumeration of powers set forth in the Constitution.

Next up is a ruling that the Kenyan fraud is ineligible to be POTUS and all legislation passed under his watch is declared null and void.

I am all about ridding Obamacare, but I also believe that those risk not having health care should NOT be guaranteed treatment when they report to the hospital unless they pull out a credit card or quickly get a loan from the bank. Why should we pay for those who don’t want insurance. That is the only good part of the Obamacare. It ensured that taxpayers were not stuck paying for folks who did not want to pay for health care. That ONE area is amazing that conservatives are against and has amazed me through this entire process. I thought conservatives were for self sufficiency. Well if a person is not forced to have Health Care, they won’t. So when they get sick, who pays for it????? We do. I am sick of paying other people’s health care while they take their vacations to Tahiti.

Wow, that would be a dream come true. I'd love to see those that perpetrated this fraud frog marched out in handcuffs.

I’ve read a bunch of threads on this, but this didn’t percolate to the top of my head until I was reading this one:

Sure, the judge made the right decision, but the “Big F%#$@$ Deal” is the text of his reasoning. He nails the ramifications of letting UrkelCare stand as well as the support for his ruling really well.

That is not to say, of course, that Congress is without power to address the problems and inequities in our health care system. The health care market is more than one sixth of the national economy, and without doubt Congress has the power to reform and regulate this market. That has not been disputed in this case. The principal dispute has been about how Congress chose to exercise that power here.

This part of the ruling should warm the DEMs hearts though.

If he had, I and others would not have seen the article.

By the way, what's up with "=8-)"
