TheU.S. Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to uphold all but one part of the 2010 healthcare law produced some strong reactions. Supporters declared victory and opponents vowed to keep fighting. That much was to be expected.
But Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul’s rant against the high court’s ruling was a surprise of sorts. The physician-turned-elected-official appeared to suggest that the court needs a legal lesson or two.
“Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be ‘constitutional’ does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,” Paul said in a statement. “While the court may have erroneously come to the conclusion that the law is allowable, it certainly does nothing to make this mandate or government takeover of our healthcare right.”
“Obamacare is wrong for Americans. It will destroy our health care system. This now means we fight every hour, every day until November to elect a new President and a new Senate to repeal Obamacare,” he continued.

It happens that my hubby is now rereading THE BLUEGRASS CONSPIRACY: KENTUCKY’S PREPPY MAFIA..A TRUE STORY OF DRUGS, GUNS, MONEY AND MURDER written by Sally Denton. This is an incredible alliance in the early 1980s of a situation which began in Kentucky with a rogue cop which ends up with connections between South American governments, Quadaffi and important high officials in the Kentucky government including a presidential candidate. One of the conspiracy players was the closest advisor to the KY governor. It implicates the CIA. I cannot help but think that hidden relationships which exist in our federal government right now are similar to this story. The KY story is very scary in that all of these things can go on undercover for so long. In the end, those who tried to fool the citizens of KY and many others did not turn out well. However, their crimes went on for a long time before judgment set in. This book holds important insights into those who lust for absolute power over the people.
The next 6 months will quite possibly see the economy collapse as businesses and people scramble to protect their assets.
NO ONE IS GOING TO HIRE ANYONE IF THEY CAN AVOID IT.
It's impossible to hire for a given position when you cannot possibly quantify just how much that position will cost the business in either fines, taxes or *choke* "insurance".
If nothing else, as an American Roberts should have dug a little deeper and support the obvious justification that exists to toss the entire law.
What a disaster for all Americans.
I've been watching businesses scramble for cover over the past 3+ years. Now they will absolutely be damaged from the results of this idiocy. Get ready folks, the ride is just getting started.
So, is this the part where we are supposed to start pretending that a GOP president (particularly, one like Romney) will make a difference?
Every 4 years it comes to that. And whenever a GOP candidate is lucky enough to win the Presidency, he stabs us in the back.
The truth is that if McCain had won in 2008, we would be in about the same situation we are in now.
Both the GOP and the Rats are the sales and marketing staff of the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. The Rats also sell the services of the lawyers and unions.
We are doomed whatever we do. It makes no difference. That’s just the way history always works.
WHo cares as long as free birth control keeps coming.
“Yes, we are much better off with Obama filling two SCOTUS Vacancies during his next Term.”
No doubt Obama would appoint justices just as horrible as Sotomeyer and Kagen. Unfortunatly I really believe Romney would appoint someone like snarlin Arlen Specter.
Just insane. Aside from being a lie, by that logic one would burn down homes in an attempt to equalize the situation for the homeless.
I don’t understand your reasoning and never will. In case you haven’t noticed, America has awakened. Another four years of Obama and there will be no America. He is already beginning to rule by fiat, ignoring both the house and the senate. Just think what another 4 years would do. If we don’t get rid of obamacare and make the Bush tax cuts permanent in January 2013 the damage to the economy will not be recoverable. Maybe the epitath on your tombstone can read : “American is gone, but I didn’t violate my principles”
” In case you haven’t noticed, America has awakened. “ <<<<
The ones who are awake are the few of us who are not voting ourselves the federal treasury. I don’t believe that number any longer represents a majority vote.
This very situation was designed this way and it took some time (decades) to accomplish it.
To the buying off of most Americans with welfare, food stamps, subsidies, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and then add on successful balcanization of the races against one another, class warfare, growth of illegal voters, intimidation of legal voters, and the “social justice” meme as the overarching goal of governance.
You have but a wing and a prayer. All of it bet on socialist Republicans who are pudding to reverse anything.
Watch. Only one of us is wrong. I sincerely fantasize that it would be me, but will not bet on hope and change.
I’m mad as hell and will not take the medicine any more.
I dunno, who can say? 0-9 or 4-5 the outcome is still the same. Maybe Romney will nominate Orin Hatch. I thought he was going to win until yesterday. Either way I don't care which liar wins, I don't want any.
