LOL

[stockpirate]

there was no severability clause, there fore the bill is gone,not just that part.

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Department of Education—they’re all unconstitutional, too, but they’re not going away in the near future. So we’ll have to see if this holds up.

But did anyone challenge those at the time they were inflicted?

[rxsid]

Great News! Lets hope that SCOTUS, ultimately, rules in this manor as well.

Barry care is unconstitutional!

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don’t know about that. Was there a provision in it that said so?

From the article on Foxnews:

In his ruling, Hudson wrote that he is severing that portion of the law, known as Section 1501, but is not granting an injunction against the entire law.

But Section 1501 is the portion of the law that collects most of the money that is supposed to flow into the system from millions of additional participants. Without it, the law’s execution could be severely compromised and could rock the foundation of other provisions in the legislation.

The lawsuit is just one of nearly two dozen challenges filed in federal courts across the country. Another high-profile suit filed in Florida and joined by 20 states and the National Federation of Independent Businesses will go before Judge Roger Vinson on Thursday.

Administration officials insist health care exchanges and many other aspects of the law would survive and implementation of the law would proceed. They said they don’t anticipate an adverse ruling in Virginia or Florida to affect many aspects of the law.

There is no severability clause in the current law. Therefore the whole thing is kaput.

This is a reminder that Elections Matter because of JUDGE APPOINTMENTS. This constitution-following judge was appointed by Reagan early in Reagan’s presidency.

"Pastor Perry stone said that there is one thing that was hidden in the Healthcare bill, deep in the pages that when people register for the healthcare, they will be forced ( yes, forced ) to be implanted with somekind of ID chip in their right hand."

I don't like this health care bill one bit, but I also don't take what someone says without them giving a page number, so we can actually read it ourselves.

[SaraJohnson]

Oh, thank Goodness! The Rinos are working now to figure out how to not repeal the rest of the unconstitutional “progress.”

That sound you hear in the distance is liberal heads exploding all across the fruited plain.

Watching the chestnuts pop! Pop pop pop!

Greta says DOJ will fight it by calling it a tax...

Legislators didn’t want to call it a tax for political reasons...

If I recall correctly, legislators specifically stated it was not a tax when the bill was being debated. If that's the case, can't a lawyer bring this up when arguing the case in court? In other words, if DOJ starts describing the mandatory purchase of health insurance, or the penalty for not purchasing, as a tax, couldn't Cuccinelli just introduce as evidence the adamant statements of legislators that it "wasn't a tax" and destroy the DOJ's argument? After all, the legislatures' intent must be understood when considering a bill in court, right?

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Should read: "Yes, Santa Claus...there is a VIRGINIA!!"

Was wrong about the severability clause but if you read further. Pulling Section 1501 virtually eviscerates it:

“But Section 1501 is the portion of the law that collects most of the money that is supposed to flow into the system from millions of additional participants. Without it, the law’s execution could be severely compromised and could rock the foundation of other provisions in the legislation.”

The commerce clause has been misapplied by activists judges to slaughter the constitution and this is why we have a monster federal government and debt with the elite fighting over which party of elitists gets to have total control over the people and who receive foreign and corporate pay offs from election to election.

When all else fails, there is nothing to keep you from treating yourself for your own ailments.

The government does get a little picky about growing your own opiates.

[SaraJohnson]

That pesky Constitution.

Which was meant to be a lot more pesky to the elite than it has been thanks to our traitorous judical branch. I hope that changes...

THANK YOU GOD!
