Battle Over Health Care Law Shifts to Federal Appellate Courts

A five-week flurry of federal appellate hearings on the constitutionality of the Obama health care law kicks off Tuesday in Richmond, Va., beginning the second round of a race to the Supreme Court among a multitude of litigants eager to strike down the president’s signature domestic achievement.

At Tuesday’s hearing, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit will consider a pair of contradictory rulings sent up from the lower courts. In one case, filed by Virginia’s attorney general, a federal district judge in Richmond ruled late last year that Congress had exceeded its authority by requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance. In the other, filed by Liberty University, a conservative Christian institution, a district judge sitting 100 miles away in Lynchburg, Va., upheld the insurance mandate.

I never trust the courts to do the right thing. For one, their record of upholding the Constitution is terrible. For another, there is a homosexual bully dyke on the Court who actually helped write Obama's health care abomination, and she will not recuse herself when the case comes to the SCOTUS.

That being said, if there was a dyke on the court opposed to Obamacare, I’d be all for her.
