The split opinion of judges all over the country continue. D.C. Federal District Judge Gladys Kessler has ruled the health care law to be constitutional.
In her ruling, Kessler says:
First, this Court agrees with the two other district courts which have ruled that the individuals subject to § 1501’s mandate provision are either present or future participants in the national health care market. See Liberty Univ., 2010 WL 4860299, at *15 (“Nearly everyone will require health care services at some point in their lifetimes, and it is not always possible to predict when one will be afflicted by illness or injury and require care.”); Thomas More Law Ctr., 720 F.Supp.2d at 894 (“The health care market is unlike other markets. No one can guarantee his or her health, or ensure that he or she will never participate in the health care market. . . . The plaintiffs have not opted out of the health care services market because, as living, breathing beings . . . they cannot opt out of this market.”). Thus, the vast majority of individuals, if not all individuals, will require some medical care in their lifetime.

“we also need clothing, shelter and companionship. Please state, provide this for me.”
To accurately make the comparison, they are not providing anything. Instead, they are forcing you to buy a certain level of clothing, shelter and companionship. Then if you don’t, they are willing to levy a fine. If the fine is not paid, then they must be willing to issue an arrest warrant. If you don’t voluntarily turn yourself in to the court issuing the warrant, then they will send the police to your house. If you don’t open the door, then they are willing for the police to kick in your door. If you happen to defend yourself, then they are willing for the police to shoot you.
In other words, they are not willing to provide anything to you. Instead, they are willing to shoot you dead for not purchasing a product from another private entity.
These pro-Obamacare rulings just shows how many judges have no clue and need to be removed from the bench.
Q: What do you say to a lawyer with an IQ of 30?
A: “Good morning, your honor.”

She is 73 years old and dumber than a stump.
I need sex. Perhaps Obama will arrange Catherine Zeta Jones for me. No Helen Thomas or look alikes please. Thank you Mr. Obama!! /S
I was disgusted that a plurality voted for the fornicator, but I'm willing to recognize the title of "president" in his case. It's tacky, but he was our 42nd president. As far as I'm concerned, and I hope historians will eventually agree, after a gap of four years since our 43rd president, Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, or Michelle Bachmann will be our 44th president. I have never used a title more honorable than "former junior US Senator from Illinois" for ObamaCare's evil namesake, and I never will.
Lets admit these judges start with the liberal conclusion they want then cook up the legal reasoning and justification. Our conservative judges do the same but libs do it more and are shameless about it. They feel entitled because they are female, or black or Hispanic....you fill in the blanks.
That moron Sotomayor is shameless about it.
That has got to be the stupidest, most blatantly nonesensicle ruling i’ve ever read. Where do these beltway facists come from?
You are correct but your point tends to get lost in the FR noise.
I wonder how difficult it is to have a judge released from their duty when their reckless decisions endanger the public?
Further confirms what we already know, that people inside the beltway have zero regard for the Constitution
The opinion was published November 30, 2010.
Kessler was nominated to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by President Bill Clinton on March 22, 1994 to a seat vacated by Michael Boudin. Kessler was Confirmed by the Senate on June 15, 1994 on a majority vote and received commission on June 16, 1994. [2] She assumed senior status on January 22, 2007.[1] Her first job was as an attorney for the National Labor Relations Board...
Judges have never cared much about the Constitution. Enumerated powers got expanded by shoving everything under the commerce clause. They give their employers (the government) full reign to establish a tyranny. The SC is as careless about logic as any lower level judge. This is all politics. Right now we have a “maybe” 5-4 majority, but then maybe not.
Memo to every judge in America:
I no longer care what your legal opinions are. And like all opinions, they are like posteriors - everyone has one. Granted, you attended school longer than I. I only earned two masters degrees, while you went to (drumroll) Law School. So you are no more intelligent than I, so I’ll reach my own decisions.
No one can force me to pay for DeathCare abortions. No one can force me to kneel before the false gods of PC, Liberalism and Communism. No one can force me to break a vow I made at age 17 - to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;” and to “bear true faith and allegiance to the same;” and to “obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”
So you can take your clauses and penumbras and SIUYA.
She is the definition of an oxygen thief.

It’s DC. This is worst than California’s Nineth Circuit. Did anyone expect any other decision or a decision that makes sense?
I’m not freakin’ gonna worry about it. These monsters of the statism WILL lose in the end, and they will be replaced.
They are not the final word. They are writing opinions that will be used as examples for future generations of a totalitarianism that was defeated by lovers of liberty.
