One thing Hollywood knows how to do is to give audi ences a "cheer moment" when the underdog finally turns on his adversaries -- Rocky's first, bone-crushing left hook against Apollo Creed, for example. As the 112th Congress convenes next week, that's what many Americans will be expecting from the 63 new Republican House members and five new Republican senators. The first thing they're going to have to rock back on its heels is ObamaCare.
Tea Partiers, start your engines. The great battle for the soul and future of America is about to begin.
The first battlefield will be the bureaucratic monstrosity known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was forced down the gullets of the American people at Christmas 2009 despite their vehement opposition -- and that will soon enough generate at least 100,000 pages of regulations. Not even the surprise election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts, who campaigned on his pledge to be the 40th Republican vote against the bill in the Senate, had any effect on the Democrats. Through a toxic combination of parliamentary maneuver and outright bribery, ObamaCare was rammed through and signed into law in March of this year.
The law stands as a monument to government's contempt for its citizens, a breathtaking power grab by the Democrats, using the fig leaves of the Commerce and General Welfare clauses of the Constitution.
"Are you serious?" responded Nancy Pelosi, when asked to explain how the "individual mandate" could be constitutional. Unfortunately for the outgoing House speaker, Federal Judge Henry Hudson yanked away those fig leaves when he ruled on Dec. 13 that Congress has no constitutional right to force American citizens to purchase anything...

PRAY!
Whoever came up with that dastardly health bill should have known that you cannot demand folks buy anything that they don’t willfully sign up for, like buying a car knowing that they have to buy insurance for it. They can choose not to buy a car.
The Problem is we understand that but the Final Decision will be made by 9 people in Black Robes,or more to the point by one,when the court is split 4-4 and Stevens the Liberal Ass votes that it is Constitutional. Then what do you do ? WE ARE SCREWED,as one Democrat Senator said the System Is RIGGED.
Time to wake up Folks this has been coming for sometime,when the Flood gates from Mexico are openened it will done
Obamacare is one of those liberal Golem that gave Big Government a bad name. The sooner its defunded and repealed, the better off the country will be.
I’m trying to think of anyone who ever gave it a GOOD name!
“Pray”. We will need more than prayer. We need to fight this with every ounce of strength that we have, if we hope to retain our Country!
Amen....
For many, praying is a substitute for real action
Congress has no constitutional right to force American citizens to purchase anything.
That should be sent to Obama&Co. every day and used in the 2012 election run.
Stevens is retired, replaced by kagan but it's kennedy that is the swing vote. He can go either way.
“The Problem is we understand that but the Final Decision will be made by 9 people in Black Robes,or more to the point by one,when the court is split 4-4 and Stevens the Liberal Ass votes that it is Constitutional. “
Not going to happen that way. Ever see the commercial, “The most interesting person in the world?” Right now that person is Justice Kennedy. My assumption is Scalia, Roberts, Thomas and Alito are voting to repeal. Safe bet Ginsburg, sotomayer, Breyer and Kagan are voting for keeping it the way it is.
Which means the fate of this country is going to rest in the hands of....wait for it... A Reagan Appointee.
“Time to wake up Folks this has been coming for sometime,when the Flood gates from Mexico are openened it will done”
The border is already wide open.
Tennessee has the crappy Tenncare..full of fraud, waste and abuse.
Look at his record on the social issues,GOES LEFT EVERY TIME,Sorry
Yeah I know,I live in Ct. I am a Vietnam Veteran,I vote in every election ,I contact the Sleazebags who represent Connecticut and get No where,Attended town Halls ,Went to the 9-11 March,the 8-28 March and watched the election and then the Lame Duck session. I listen to the silence of the Traitors in the Republican Party who gave the Marxist in the White House what he Really wanted,Obamacare ,START treaty,Homos in the Military,His Czars and Regulators are now pronouncing the 100,000 pages of regulations that are in the Obamacare that they did not read because all it was was a Structure that they now can fill in what ever the hell they want ,example,Death Panels and there is not a Dam thing you or I can do about it. They are going to now start to regulate the Internet. Its bad enough what you can see this Marxist doing ,Just Imagine what you cant see behind the Scenes,As I said Praying is what we Need
Social issues do matter. But this is bigger than a homosexual marriage. This is an industry killer with repercussions felt across the world. This is taking billions of dollars out of the economy, permanently laying off hundreds of thousands of workers and changing the direction of the Country.
Kennedy voting with the left on this will kill the country. I don’t think he wants that blood on his hands.
