WASHINGTON, DC - Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint made the following statement after a federal judge ruled that the individual mandate in President Obama's health care takeover bill "exceeds the constitutional boundaries of congressional power."
"Today's decision makes it clear that President Obama and Democrats overreached and violated the Constitution in their rush to pass a federal takeover of our health care system. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli made a compelling case that Obamacare violated the constitutional rights of Americans by forcing them into a government program against their will.
"The Constitution neither grants Congress nor the President the power to compel every American to buy government-approved health insurance. The unconstitutional individual mandate is the centerpiece of the health care takeover and today's ruling should signal the beginning of the end for Obamacare. Congress must listen to the American people and fully repeal Obamacare immediately. Then we can move to real solutions that make health care more affordable and increase choices that keep patients in control over their own care."

And by your own quotes, decided policy and political questions in the process, such as this little gem, "“This Court is . . . unpersuaded that [the individual mandate] is a bona fide revenue-raising measure enacted under the taxing power of Congress. . . ."
Any conservative should be able to distinguish between political and legal questions. Otherwise, they're no better than the parrots of the left.
That’s right. The United States shamefully tried to claim it was a tax. The court found that it was not. Obama lied to the people and instructed his lawyers to lie to the court.
Enough of your idiotic b/s. Obviously you’re not one of us. Zot.
You just gave yourself up, troll. LOL!
You’re the one that’s defending the Left!
Nice shot, Jim!
ZOT.
You’ll do fine Moose hunting with Sarah Palin.
Guess being a smart arse on FR doesn’t pay eh desert brain? You did well though living such a lie since 2005. Good riddance.

A righteous zot and long overdue!
I love the ozone fresh smell of a good zot.
I believe, with you, that DeMint would make an excellent presidential candidate... but he says no to the idea, doesn’t he?
Thanks for posting Mark Levin on this. Very instructive.
I hope not. Never trust a weeping drunk.
Excellent read, sir!

Slowly but surely, as they decloak, we will excise them.
ZOT! BY JIMROB!
Oh gee, it looks as if everybody took a shot at this one:
Here, desert man, put a band-aid on your butt:
“DeMint/Cuccinelli 2012”
BUMP
