Appeals Court in Ohio Upholds Health Law (Requirement to buy Health Insurance is Constitutional)
Wall Street Journal ^ | 6/29/11 | P Landers

Posted on 06/29/2011 11:05:59 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

A federal appeals court in Cincinnati on Wednesday upheld the health-care law passed by Congress last year, saying the law's requirement for most Americans to carry insurance or pay a penalty is constitutional.

The vote was 2-1 on the three-judge panel on the key question of whether the insurance requirement exceeded Congress's powers under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The majority concluded that it did not.

He put Alito on SCOTUS

Wasn't that after Harriet Miers withdrew under pressure from everyone with a brain?

Good guess. You were very close. One Dem, one RINO, and a Republican.

Bull. He put Alito on SCOTUS, replacing that dolt Sandra Day O'Connor. She, a Reagan appointee, did more damage than this clown on the Sixth Circuit.

Bump that. Bush did generally very well in judge appointments. Thanks for the reminder about O'Conner, who was a terrible selection by Reagan. Alito is a vastly better Justice. Reagan made mostly great picks, but this one was not one of them.

This was a three-judge panel. The decision can be appealed to an en banc hearing of the entire Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. And, of course, this will ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ding ding ding...we have a winner.

Bush was a great war-time-president. It ends there.
He spent us into oblivion, greased the skids for Obama by not communicating to the American people and created a vacuum and tin ear to the people with the excuse that the MSM drove him nuts. So what, one can learn from Reagan and talk over the MSM, but he chose not to...a lot because the high brow Carl Rove had too much of his ear. Rove and Bush are pushing Huntsman if that tells you anything.

The only way to make this stop...unfortunately...

is for there to be a refusal to buy health insurance by everyone. Yes, everyone.

The statement that needs to be made is that health insurance is optional and not a requirement in our modern society.

Bush is among the worst presidents in American history, that is a fact.

My opinion too.

So now we can be forced to buy Smart cars, only certain foods and only in the amout They approve of. We can also be forced into smaller homes and be told where to live.

Thanks for the confirmation on the 6th Circuit......Do you think this ruling stands a chance of reversal after an en banc hearing?

If the SCOTUS upholds this it means that the Government can do whatever it wants, the Constitution will be moot.

It won’t matter if President Palin/Bachmann/Perry overturn obamacare through legislation.

The SCOTUS will have set a precedent that cannot be undone by civil disobedience or electing conservatives.

Bad, bad things are going to happen if they uphold this.

While admitting it's a small part of the big picture...

whatever happened to equal treatment under the law?

Look at all the Obamacare "exemptions."

Rather Orwellian, wouldn't you say?

Some companies and individuals are "more equal than others."
