Just wondering. Same with the Defense Of Marriage Act, that was the law of the land too.

Oboingo & the Democrats seem to think it's OK for everyone to protest and demand roll-back of some laws, but not ObamaCare or DOMA.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Legislation to build a LONG border fence along the Mexican border was settled law at one point as well. Somehow it got de-funded...

Then there's the one that's becoming the commonplace obvious retort. That would be that slavery was the settled law of the land. Took a not-so-civil war to end it.

Obama and his dem stormtroopers aren't real good at logic, are they?

A law that originated in the Senate and was not voted on by the House after ‘conference’ but ‘deemed passed’ by the House Majority leader is not a law in my book.

Secondly, a law that originated in the Senate as I said that was ruled a TAX by the SC is retroactively a tax bill in my book. As such, originated by the Senate was a violation of the Constitutional dictate that ALL tax/financial bills originate in the HOUSE.

It is not a law; it is treason.

And what about existing immigration laws that the Obama administration refuses to enforce in Arizona and California, then attempts to prosecute local law enforcement agencies for their attempts at enforcement? Isn’t that also settled law?

ObamaCare is “the law of the land”. . .”settled law”. . .like that is supposed to stop debate and end all discussion to repeal or amend.

Jim Crow segregation laws were also “the law of the land” too, but that didn’t mean efforts to repeal or amend them were to be halted because the Supreme Court held them constitutional.

The 2nd Amendment is settled law, but the Left keeps trying to subvert it anyway.

If it’s settled law, why has Soetoro been changing it piece by piece? Sounds very unsettled to me.

There is no such thing as “settled law.”

The people have it within their power to alter or repeal any statute through their elected representatives.

And the House of Representatives can choose to withhold or eliminate funds from any agency or department it chooses. And neither the senate nor the president can do anything (within the law) about it.

Here’s settled law. If you come illegally into our country the government must deport you.

Whenever I hear the phrase “It’s the law of the land” I think about the many laws preventing illegal entry into the land. None of them are being enforced.

- we have immigration rules which are the laws of the land, but obama refuses to enforce them....

- we have border rules which are the laws of the land, but obama refuses to enforce them...

- DOMA was the law of the land the first 4.5 years obama was in office, but he brazenly refused to enforce it...

Compliance with Obamacare violates Doctor Patient Confidentiality.

Obamacare is in violation of the Doctors Hippocratic Oath as follows:

” - - - All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. - - - “

Another line of legal reasoning involves comparing Obamacare to all the do’s and don’ts the Federal Government has put into Law about our “privacy rights” such as HIPPA, questions that future employers can and cannot ask at one’s job interview, etc.

A criminal at arrest time has the “right to remain silent” which is not an option for any of us - - - , as our Doctors have been forced by the damn Federal Government to betray us over our very loud protests.

Class Action Law Suit anyone?

Might be something for Senators Cruz and Lee to file on our behalf ?!
