IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE MEANING OF 'SETTLED LAW' IS
October 16, 2013No major legislation has ever been passed like Obamacare -- and I'm using the word "passed" pretty loosely.
It became law without both houses ever voting on the same bill. (Say, is the Constitution considered "settled law"?) Not one Republican voted for it -- and a lot of Democrats immediately wished they hadn't.
Historically, big laws have been enacted with large, bipartisan majorities. In 1935, President Roosevelt enacted Social Security with a 372-33 vote in the House and 77-6 in the Senate.
In 1965, Medicare passed in the Senate 70-24 and the House 307-116, with the vast majority of Democrats supporting this Ponzi scheme and Republicans roughly split.
Reagan's magnificent tax cuts in 1981 -- which Democrats now denounce as if they'd been appalled at the time -- passed with a vote of 89-11 in the Senate and even 323-107 in the hostile Democratic House.
Even Bill Clinton's signature legislative achievement -- Midnight Basketball for the Homeless -- received more bipartisan support than Obamacare.
No law, certainly not one that fundamentally alters the role of the government, has ever been passed like this.
But now, this greased-through, irregular law is relentlessly defended as "settled law" and "the law of the land"! (At least the parts that Obama hasn't unconstitutionally waived -- again, anybody know if the Constitution is "settled law"?)
Wow -- Obamacare sounds fantastic! Not only does Congress refuse to live under it, but its proponents' strongest argument is that it's "settled law!"
The most hilarious part of the "settled law" argument is that it's coming from the left, for whom nothing is ever "settled" until they get their way -- as described in my new book, Never Trust a Liberal Over Three-Especially a Republican.
The Constitution is settled, Obamacare is not.

So which Rino would have beaten Reid and the Dem Machine in NV? She was brutal to the Tea Party and go on Lars and find the interview.
Sorry, she has joined the DC Punditocracy.
Pray America is Waking Up
I think her boyfriend Bill M of HBO gives her stuff. I plan on burning the 1 book I have of hers, one that was given to me.
To me Coulter is about as principled as Bill Cunningham, yes the guy that has a tv show that does DNA testing to see who is the father
One of those Oprah/Jerry Springer type shows
Ann I have no use for
And, of course, making a budget!!
Surely you remember some of the brutal attacks she made on the Tea Party?
None of the Rino's would have beaten Reid, what was needed was a better conservative candidate.
Unfortunately, there wasn't one.
Sorry, she has joined the DC Punditocracy
I'm not sorry, and she didn't just start. She has been punditing for years, if not decades.
I'm glad she is on the scene with her timely comments.
Cute word Punditocracy...
Just selling books
Last century a law was passed along with a Constitutional Amendment ratified by over 30 states of the Union prohibiting the sale of alcohol. It was by all accounts the settled Law of the Nation. And what happened to that settled law. It was later repealed by a overwhelming vote in Congress as well as the vote of the States of the Union. So much for the history of settled law.
Nice you left off the idiot part.
She’s got a bunch of best selling books.
Do you read?
What's wrong with that?
Did you look up the word "kep?"
The Dictionary from the Institute of Phenomonology lists the definition as "to discard or other wize remove from a political position."
She is either an idiot or is just selling books.
She wrote a book when she was 7 called "A Childs Guide to Politics."
It's out of print, but I could send you a copy.
Stop right there. There's more of a chance that he is your boyfriend than hers. They are friends, why I don't know. He's one of the most despicable lowlife jerks around.
So how did it work out for you when you were on Cunnignhams show?
Those are the shows you watch, his and Oprah's and Springer's?
Signed into law a few days ago. Just practicing law that Americans won’t.
It’s only settled if they win
I read a lot. She does have best selling books. Looks like she’s made 8.5 million from selling them + speaking and etc.
Did you read of “Friend of George” says about her? Ouch!
Yes, it is just a mere statute.
Ann is so yesterday, I tire of those trying to revive her here on FR.
Oh yeah the guy that watches Oprah/Jerry Springer type shows?
And is a friend of George of the Jungle who keeps swinging on a vine into trees?
Another of those with CES.
He has no use for her, but uses her to take out his aggressions. Ho hum.
Hmmm, Coulter Emasculation Syndrome still infecting some posters I see.
Who revived you, thought you slunk off.
Border fence construction is “settled law” too. Where’s that...
