Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

It will lay out why the bill is unconstitutional and tramples individual and states

Yesterday was a huge victory for Osama, and now he will concentrate to the next--Amnesty. And he will urge his lackeys to go all out for it. This putsch may or may not coincide with Cap&Tax. Maybe if we can freeze action on Socialized Med, we can survive to counterattack Amnesty.

Our biggest enemy is the MSM: Tens of thousands of protestors at the Capitol yesterday, and the media either ignored it or made little of it; some cast it as the 'lunatic fringe' and screamed about 'racial slurs'made by protestors with no proof of this atall.

So yes, we have 7 months to November. Anything can happen in the meantime for the Devil-in-Chief to declare Martial Law; he could well have plans to manufacture a crisis. We have to be ready for this, at least we can't count it out as a possibility.

I’m proud of the states that are going to fight this. I came across this quote from your link:

>>>”But Mark Rosen, a Constitution scholar at Chicago-Kent College of Law, said the states do not really have a constitutional leg to stand on.

“Congress has clear authority to pass this type of legislation and under the supremacy clause that makes federal law supreme,” he said.<<<

I’m not familiar with this *supremacy clause* and thought the 10th amendment was what the states were going to use.

I was on another thread earlier in the week and a FReeper (can’t remember who) pointed out the fact that the federal gov’t IS SUPREME over the states according to the *supremacy clause*.

So where does that leave the 10th amendment?

I still haven’t fully recovered from yesterday so forgive me if I’m missing something that should be obvious.
