There are two dimensions to the illegality of FASCIST Obamacare:
1) As mentioned, the Fed cannot FORCE citizens to buy anything.
2) It is unconstitutional because it conflicts with the 13th Amendment which states “neither SLAVERY nor INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE...” Obamacare is involuntary servitude. Period.
I cannot be forced into servitude to pay for the health problems of others who may have smoked, didn’t exercise and are overfed like fat cattle.
ZERO can just sign an executive order if they rule it unconstitutional. He needs no law, he is the law.

One confused country... the primary issue should not be the DC gang forcing us to buy insurance. It should be that this health _care_ law allows DC to prevent you from acquiring medical treatment needed to save your _life_ ; via _any_ means, if that procedure is not supported by DC gang and its minions.
Since when does DC decide whether I have a right to take a cure, esp. when I spend my own money to get it?
Duh... I say come on and think about it.
This needs to be overturned soon. The damage is already being done by raising taxes and setting up an infrastructure that will not go away. Even though most of it takes place in 2014, taxes are already being raised. Let’s hope this monster is gone soon!
I still don’t trust them. They just might be making it look good. Two Clinton appointees and one Bush worry me.
It seems to me the judge is asking the wrong question. “Is there anything saying Congress can do this?” The part of the Constitution that said that anything not explicitly given to the federal gov’t is power given to the states was given up long ago with seemingly no hope for return. The only question that is left is, Is there anything saying that Congress cannot do this? This would be the correct question in the country we live in now.
