I don’t understand how the DEM could get away with accusing GOP health plan as something for big corporations when obamacare subsidies those big corporation insurance companies

Look what Obama did when the DREAM Act didn’t pass.

Dream Act: Obama passes amnesty by a back door ICE directive

My guess:

Individual Mandate is overturned. The rest of the bill stands and the SC leaves us ing a completely unworkable situation.

Tonight Levin said if the mandate is struck down, Obama will resort to executive orders to reconstitute what was struck down

Obama will by-pass whatever ruling they make that he does not agree with. I agree with what Mark Levin said.

Yeah, they always split anything controversial and let the masses sort it out. I would like to see a court with a spine for the Constitution.

One I the things I find interesting is the Dems distancing themselves from Obama. I could be wrong, tho, but Obamacare was THEIR hallmark (his crown jewel, as well).....NOW some won’t show up for the convention? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

If the individual mandate is thrown out, should not the whole thing be thrown out since there is no severability clause?

Since this has always been a play for more taxes, if that happens--if Obama decides, "Well hell. Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Cool.": There Will Be Blood, DVD Disc Cover I'm already shoeing at least fifty Treyvons in Air Jordans. I'll be damned if I pay over any more of my money for their care and feeding and medication, along with upkeep for the party's newest members, dozens of millions of illegal aliens.

That is what I have heard. They didn't put a severability clause into the plan.

Prior to today I thought the individual mandate would be struck down. Now I am beginning to think they will approve the whole thing. I hope not but I think I am right. Rats.

One of the reasons that I believe Roberts wanted to write the Per Curiam opinion was to lecture the WH on Judicial Review.

I don't think I've ever seen so many disclaimers in an op ed in all my life.

Frankly, I think the guy is too scared to have an opinion at all. Sorta like Romney.

If they were to take a mulligan, they would more than likely have done that already.

no matter what the decision Romney is not going to say anything at this time.

Well, he said this:

...during a campaign stop in Salem, Va: “If it is deemed to stand, then I’ll tell you one thing: We’re going to have to have a president -- and I’m that one -- that’s going to get rid of Obamacare. We’re going to stop it on Day 1.”

The Arizona Ruling by THE NINE SUPREMES (actually 8) has proven that we no longer have a US Constitution.

Hence, it is pointless to talk about a Court Dictate on Obama”care” being anything but a dictate of the polarized Court.

We also have a Rogue Dictator, and a Rogue Obama-Rifles Attorney General Leader.

Preference is not the issue. What the Court has already Dictated on Obama”care” will be the issue.

The further destruction of the US Constitution is the most probable dictate that the Court will hand down on Thursday, as this will be the last dictate of this past year, and hence they cowardly will release their worst dictate on their last day in session.

Since Obama”care” of ANY sort will financially destroy America, our options are limited to Congressional ABOLISHMENT of all of Obama”care,” or for we, the people, to begin the tedious process of convening peaceful State Constitutional Conventions, and splitting the former USA into multi-State Regions.

For almost 80 years we have been saddled with the failed Keynesian Economic System. It has bankrupted the US Federal Government.

The derivatives of the WW2 Wage and Price Control Dictates are as follows: Medicare, Medicaid, Romney”care” and Obama”care.”

All of these vote-buying gimmicks are funded by debt created by the failed Keynesian Economic System.

Currently this Debt is charged to those who cannot vote: our Grandchildren’s future descendants.

This Debt is the Federal Grandchildrens Tax, or FGT, to distinguish it from the FIT, or Federal Income Tax, which only 51 % of us are required to pay.

The Silent Majority is silent no more.

There will be additional calls for State Constitutional Conventions if the Republicans try to preserve or retain ANY of Obama or Romney”care.”

Obama”care” is the Death Knell for America. It must be ABOLISHED FOREVER if America is to survive.

If Obama”care” does survive, then I favor Regional Areas/Republics of the former United States of America. I think the States that the XL Pipeline will run through makes excellent sense for one Region, called The Texas Region. The Mississippi Region would be those States that the Mississippi River runs through. Pacific and Atlantic Regions are obvious, as are the Rocky Mountain States.

In this way people could vote with their feet and move to a greater or lesser degree of personal Liberty.

The Great Experiment of forcing the United States of America back into the European Feudal System began with FDR’s Social Security System and will end in failure with Obama”care.”

There is no need for armed conflict, as we have already tried that horrific method with our bloody Civil War.

Just peacefully hold State Constitutional Conventions, split up the former USA into multi State Regions, and then hold Fourth of July “Remember When Days” once a year, as we thank our lucky Stars that we in NO WAY are like Europe.

If we were a Nation of Laws, we could survive.

We, instead, have become a Nation of Lawyers, and thus survival is not possible.

Lawyers do not obey the laws, they just change their interpretation of the laws to suit themselves. For example, “Remember the Arizona Law!” would make an appropiate State Constitutional Convention poster.

During the State Constitutional Conventions and split up of the former USA, we need to designate a multi-State Region just for Lawyers. They could then Keynesian themselves to their hearts content.

The Region that I will choose will be based on “The Invisible Hand” of Samuel Adams’ Free Market, with NO safety net.

Think it over, as it will take years to complete all of the State Constitutional Conventions.

Thus, we have time to plan to do it RIGHT, (pun intended), and throw the Liberal cartons of useless Tea millstones back into the Sea of European Feudalism/Socialism that they so richly deserve.

We must design our Multi-State Regions/Republics so that the disaster of RINO-morphing, and creeping Keyneism does not occur again.

Without an effective Check and Balance System each Multi-State Region/Republic will not survive, as has been proven in the present USA by the efforts of RINO-Democrat-Liberal Agenda Media “Triangle of Doom” that we have today.

There is still hope if we can DUMP Romney by having the Delegates vote to ABSTAIN on the first Ballot in Tampa.

If Romney becomes the Nominee, Obama wins big in November, just like he did against Lame-Brain McCain in 2008, and it will be GAME ON Time for us FReepers here in the former USA.

BTW, I’m dusting off my Tri-Cornered Hat, will dig out my copies of The Federalists Papers, and for Patriotic Flair, may even make a few quill pens!

Let us build a more perfect Union! Long live the Second Republic of TEXAS!

____________

BTW, BTW, to the BIG BROTHER Lurkers: save your expensive Obamadrones for the continuous, and now SCOTUS-approved, invasion of the Mexican Drug Lords into Southern Arizona.

We will be no bother to you as we will be more peaceful, and more patriotically joyful than a GSA Convention in Las Vegas when we hold our many State Constitutional Conventions.

Y’all come by now, hear?

My prediction is they will uphold all of it with the moronic stipulation that it does not mean that the federal government cannot actually dictate to citizens that they must “buy something”, or rather engage in interstate commerce except for very specific circumstances, and this is one of those specific circumstances.

This country will no longer survive via the ballot box once this travesty is upheld tomorrow, IMO. And since there are nowhere near enough patriots willing to do what is necessary to rid this country of the evil that is enslaving us, we have no other choice but to submit, and the federal government both knows this and has based its strategy around our apathy and complacency.

My thought it was to switch from the Bible to the Koran for the full oath. That way he can lie with immunity from his true faith.
