I had not heard of the DOJ's refusal to join Virginia in its suggestion to fast track this to the SCOTUS,

Did a search and could not find this posted. If it's a duplicate, please remove. Thanks.

The O administration does NOT want to go straight to the USSC. They are hoping to delay delay delay and go to appeal instead.

Ultimately, if the regime wins in the courts, half the doctors in the country are going to quit. There’s nothing the regime can do about that, without repealing the 13th Amendment.

“the question of the law’s constitutionality can be conclusively resolved only in the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Bull$*@t!

This small sentence just about made me blow my top. Is this where we’ve come as a society, where morality isn’t defined by reason and logic, but by nine damn justices on a bench, all of whom are chosen by the very people wanting to violate the Constitution?

If so, heaven help us the day our very right to our lives comes up for debate. There’s nothing more depressing than knowing your life is in the hands of a bunch of political thugs.

arguing that the federal government is justified in claiming the power to order citizens to purchase health insurance....

Or order citizens to purchase...
A treadmill
A GM made electric car
A government education including black studies, woman studies and global warming studies
A tatoo
Carbon credits
Whatever the heck they want

How about ordering the illegals to purchase a bus ticket to Mexico

Or how about ordering citizens to purchase a firearm.

This delaying by the Obama admin is the reason that the GOP must simply do what they have to do to put this thing on ice. They shouldn't be relying on the courts to put an end to this.

I’d actually be very careful about wanting this to go to the Supreme Court...

I’m sure the four horsemen on our side of the equation already know how this should go, and the whiper-snapers on the other side know where they are going on this...

That swing vote is the key...

And if the question is not raised properly before the court, we will be opening a pandora’s box that needs to stay shut...For now...

I believe once the State’s get their act together and a few of us tell the feds where to stick this thing...ObamaCare will be defunded and die on the vine...

Repealing the law might be nice, and would be great from a political standpoint, but defunding the thing will probably garner a faster and more preferable outcome to the issue...

Just my opinion...
