Ruling that the ObamaCare insurance mandate is unconstitutional is like saying that water is wet. Of course it's an unconstitutional abuse of federal power. If the feds can force people to buy health insurance there is virtually no limit to the reach of federal meddling into the affairs of life.
In a sense, it's fortunate that the unmitigated arrogance of Obama, Reid and Pelosi -- as witnessed in the healthcare "reform" debacle -- is pushing even postmodern constitutional jurisprudence to its very limits.
Two federal district court judges have concluded that ObamaCare is constitutional. In doing so, they wandered into the red-herring inquiry of whether not having a fully insured populace would affect the goals of central-control healthcare reform. If that's the question, then judges may also conclude that what federal subjects eat and how much they exercise are also areas within the reach of the federal reform scheme.
Judge C.R. Vinson's recent district court ruling was issued out of Florida in the consolidated case against ObamaCare brought by 26 states -- Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The media are reporting the ObamaCare court scorecard as two and two. But including the Virginia ruling, it's more accurate to say that 27 states have achieved the first round of victory over a misnomer; namely, the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."

hardly, it's a RADICAL LEFTIST (probably communist loving America hating Obama) takeover of America. It is a key part of the plan to destroy America and the CLOWN IN CHIEF will do anything to keep it going, including CONSTITUTIONAL CRISES.
Clinton's impeachement is nothing compared to what these clowns have in store for America
Neither the states nor the people need to seek permission from the judiciary to reassert their 10th Amendment rights against an Unconstitutional act by any of the three branches. They need simply tell the federal government they are reasserting their 10th Amendment rights and will not comply with an Unconstitutional act.
Just a year ago, on christmas day.
They handed me the bill ... I signed this way:
“Roses are red, My Love,
Violets are blue,
Obamacare, My Love,
Will bankrupt you.”
As the bill reached the house
And when the big day came,
Pelosi passed the bill
To our great shame
“Roses are red, My Love,
Violets are blue,
Obamacare, My Love,
Will bankrupt you.
Then I went far away,
The people voted to sway
Their representatives,
to vote this way
“Roses are red, My Love,
Violets are blue,
Obamacare, My Love,
Will bankrupt you”
Is that your ruling there?
It looks like it was you.
Someday they’ll write your name,
With Lincoln’s, too.
“Roses are red, My Love,
Violets are blue,
Owls are wise, My Love,
And God bless you
How is it that the fact that the Obama regime is willfully in contempt of TWO Federal injunctions issued by TWO different Federal Judges, is NOT the only thing anyone is talking about today? The Constitution has been essentially declared null and void by this Regime; is there something more important to discuss? SuperBowl 45 perhaps? If freedom-loving Americans cannot even organize some protests — or, preferably, CIVIL Disobedience — in defense of Oil Drilling rigs and in defense of anyone attempting to put a stop to ObamaCare implementation; then we’re quite simply done.
They certainly are using Egypt to deflect, aren’t they?

Exactly! Where is the outrage over the trampling of our Constitution?
And...LTC Lakin sits in prison, and Major Cook immediately lost his security clearance and his job because Obama will NOT NOT NOT provide the simple and common proof that he is a natural born citizen.
Where are the protests?
Honestly, we are indeed cooked well beyond “done”!
At least the conservative talk radio guys are covering this story of Obama ignore these two injunctions. If they had spoken out about Obama’s questionable natural born citizenship 2 1/2 years ago, maybe protests would not have been needed now over these injunctions.
