RE: What say you Seek and Find?

The Fourth Circuit is Wrong Says I.

[secret garden]

Three judges, randomly selected, one appointed by Clinton, the other two by the big zero. Coincidence?

[tcrlaf]

“the State of Virginia lacks the standing to sue the federal government over the Obama health-care law.”

BOGUS RULING....
Obamacare is in DIRECT opposition to the laws of Virginia, and it was passed BEFORE Obamacare became law.

Diana Gribbon Motz was nominated to the bench by former President Bill Clinton, while the other two — Andre M. Davis and James A. Wynn Jr. — were nominated by Obama.

Unbiased. /s

This was a three judge panel of the 4th Circuit.

Will this be re-heard by the entire Court?

En Banc...

The court said Virginia had no right to bring its lawsuit because “the sole provision challenged here — the individual mandate — imposes no obligations” on the state itself

SO NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OF STATES CANNOT DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF ITS CITIZENS?

The 4th did a ‘duck and cover’.

[Dick Tater]

Is it me or are the courts ruling more that Americans have no right to challenge laws that affect everyone (Obama's eligibility and this to name two)?

I fail to see how we aren't headed for blood sponsored by govt and democrats -typically the same thing.

[RIghtwardHo]

None of the Circuit Court rulings matter, even the ones with which we agree. SCOTUS is all that matters on this issue.

Per this Washington Examiner article, 2 of the 3 judges on the 4th Circuit were appointed by Obama and the other was appointed by Clinton.

The flood insurance is broke and has been for some time now. If they can get away with requiring everyone to purchase health insurance, then they can require every homeowner (not just people in flood hazard areas) to get flood insurance and help shore up the program.

If it works for health insurance then it could work for flood insurance.

...and insert a question as to whether 0bamascare is actually a law, since the bill was signed by a USURPER!

FUBO GTFO ! 499 Days until Noon Jan 20, 2013 - Hell Yes, change is coming!

“SO NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OF STATES CANNOT DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF ITS CITIZENS?”

Would seem to me that such rulings precede secession...

The 4th Circuit used to be more conservative. When the Dems in the senate started filibustering Bush nominees several 4th circuit openings were unfilled. When Barry took office in 2008 with a Dem senate these slots were filled quickly. Gang of 14 didn’t help when they failed to implement the nuclear option.

Next will be tornado, hurricane, and avalanche insurance.

So the Federal employees in black robes have no problem with the virginal law outlawing enforcement of any individual mandates.
