Good! The damned congress is so complicit in obama’s subversion of America otherwise. This mess would not continue if congress would only defund Obamacare now, and then repeal it when / if we get an American president again

To: Morgana; All
Thank you for referencing that article Morgana. As usual, please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots please note that the amiscus amounts to a ”wet noodle” reprimand to Obama imo, a dog-and-pony election year stunt in other words.

Noting that this issue concerning the Little Sisters of the Poor is one of many reasons that Obama should not be in the Oval Office, consider the following critique of this issue borrowed from another thread.

- - - - - - -

"President Barack Obama is disrespecting the deeply-held religious views of the Little Sisters of the Poor by forcing them to pay for abortion-causing drugs under the HHS mandate."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument

The problem with the first sentence in the OP is this imo. The Oval Office does not have the legislative power to make private citizens do anything.

More specifically, noting that Congress has the constitutional authority to stop lawless Obama dead in his tracks with respect to what Obama is effectively doing to the nuns, what is going on with Congress and Obama is the following imo.

Corrupt lawmakers are evidently more interested in protecting their voting records than helping the nuns. So they are letting lawless Obama steal legislative branch powers to do their dirty, unconstitutional legislative work for them regardless of the consequences for the nuns. By doing this they will be able to keep their voting records clean to help fool low-information citizens into reelecting them this year.

And what is even worse than letting Obama get away with exercising legislative branch powers is this. The states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate healthcare. So Congress is letting Obama get away with exercising powers that Congress does not even have.

What a mess ! :^(

So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support the president.

In fact, note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices who likewise help to empower bad-apple presidents to do unconstitutional things.

Boy, if there were ONLY a way for Congress to tell the Court what is can/not even look in the general vicinity of.

Yep, damn shame

Paul Ryan leads Congress in effort to aid Little Sisters of the Poor (who are suing Obama over the Obamacare mandate that they provide maternity and abortion coverage) in protest against Obamacare mandates. Case is before US Supreme Court. 207 members of Congress file amicus brief.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off this Wisconsin interest ping list.
