Posts like this are what made FR the powerhouse it is today. Nice!

I am ridiculously hopeful about all this.

Somehow I just can’t believe America is going to fall this far, this fast.

Perhaps I am a fool and will have mud on the face soon. But I really the DC judge and the Supreme Court will do the right, the only right thing.

Self tag for reference tomorrow when I’m awake and alert enough to read SCOTUS cases.

Can you forward that to the VA and Florida AG offices?

And without seeing this case O’Reilly called this exact point tonight...inflicting a penalty but calling it a tax is a ruse to skirt the law.

[monkeyshine]

Let me ask you, what is to stop them from just amending the penalty into a tax, and then issuing a tax credit equal to the tax to all who purchase health insurance?

Granted they would have to force EVERYONE to file and the poorest to actually pay them, but wouldn’t that be an out?

Very interesing, however I don’t know how much faith I have in this current court, to get it right.

Sadly, this was among many other cases that have been left stranded on the quicksand shores of precedent superceded by the so-called New Deal cases.

Dissenter was a ‘Wilson’ man, go figure.

A regulatory assessment is not a tax. No revenue component. Pelosi would have been safer calling this a health tax, like booze and cigarette tax. Here, its a fee for service and I don;t see how it will withstand constitutional scrutiny. Watch Sotomayor. Will she uphold the constitution or just lick his boots?

I just fired your citation to my friend Rob McKenna. He is working on an effort to implode the entire Obamacare monstrosity with the careful aim of a David. We can pray it will be successful.

I pray the legal matters will come out right, but I think what would have even a greater effect would be 37 or more states suing. The courts have always sounded like they were completely void of politics, but I would imagine having 3/4 of the states claiming bankruptcy if the bill stays would make the case that you can't take all our rights away just to collect taxes for welfare people. Judges are for life, but they can also be removed.

I just worry where that thin line is in the sand when Buba pulls out an AK and feces hits the fan. This will not stand ultimately because we can't afford it. If we keep losing in court and in politics, there is very little left after that. Many people I know have a 10 second fuse and 8 seconds has already passed. If we don't win in November, what then? When we start to pay the 12% interest rates after we have lost everything, what then? When gas is $7 and bread is $5, what then?

The Dems have, from the beginning , wanted us to ride mopeds and bikes and live in a tar paper shack because we are rich and deserve to live like Bangladesh. This is the biggest stride yet of unsustainable economics. If you look close, you can see that Obama wants America to fail. Nobody can afford what he is sugesting.
