Quick! Somebody buy that judge a dictionary with the word "market" in it!
This is designed to provide talking-point cover for Obama and nothing more. Actually, talking-point cover is considered to be the most important thing in the world to leftists. When your entire world-view is built on unreality and lies, what you say or can get away with saying is the most important thing to you.
“Healthcare insurance” and “healthcare services” are not the same things oh wise one. One may need to see a doctor but never see an insurance broker...tortured idiot alert!
“The plaintiffs have not opted out of the health care services market because, as living, breathing beings . . . they cannot opt out of this market.”).”
So, the government can now interfere with the medical care of every individual. Hence, this court just over rode the supposedly protected “privacy” between a doctor and patient. If the government can force me to participate in this market, then they MUST monitor every individual’s level of participation. The only way to do that is with unfettered access to medical records......
....oooops, they just ruled against Roe v Wade! Hoist them on their own canard.
Another mush-brained, black-robed idiot. Didn’t see where Obamacare was backed up by ANY portion of the US Constitution in her supposed argument. Must have missed that part.
Most likely an affirmative action judge.
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?
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.

[2] She assumed senior status on January 22, 2007.[1] Her first job was as an attorney for the National Labor Relations Board...
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.

Would anyone be surprised if she is Obama’s next supreme court nominee?
