"Do not worry, my lord, we EXEMPT in the GOP
agree that the Constitution is not relevant anymore."
The courts are lawless, and if the law mattered, the Roberts ACA opinion would never have been written. Don’t hold your breath.
Won’t matter. The Constitution was rendered meaningless centuries ago.
"Do not worry, my lord, we EXEMPT in the GOP
agree that the Constitution is not relevant anymore."
What the Constitution says and what SCOTUS does are completely mutually exclusive.
How many years from now?
=================================================
The $4.3 billion "Louisisana Purchase."
THE PAPER TRAIL IS HUGE Sen Landrieu (Scumocrat-LA) sold her aye vote in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.
FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml
How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet annother indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.
===============================================
BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.

It can’t be a tax.
If it’s a tax, it’s a tax on life itself.
That’s the way I read it, the only way any reasonable person can read it.
As if the Constitutions means anything anymore.
This long from over. There is no severibility clause in the ACA. Anything within the act that is held as being unconstitutional will kill the entire law. Hobby Lobby would kill it, origination would kill it too.
Seriously? Like the Constitution matters?
By whom? Not by lawmakers; they just handed him exactly what Montesquieu warned us against.
I’ve long thought that Roberts set a trap when he said it was a revenue bill. There had to be some reason to take that road instead of an outright judgement that it was unconstitutional on its face.
Now the courts are faced with a very narrow issue about the constitutionality of the law.
I wish.
I Have Said This For Years!Article 1/Section 7:”All Bills For Raising Revenue Shall ORIGINATE In The House of Representatives”!!!This is why I was TOTALLY”Blind-Sided”by Roberts when he called”The Individual Mandate”a”TAX”!!!!!!!!
Technically, the ACA originated in the House.
But I think we might be in for a dissappointment if we are expecting a complete slap down. Given that the senate, house and President all passed this monstrosity, and given that's it's already partly implemented, I don't see a judge doing a complete smack down.
I'm trying to think of what options the judge might have:
"What difference does it make?" /s
There is no way Obamacare is getting the axe on origination clause grounds. If they are willing to go directly against the plain wording of the Constitution at times, a technicality is not going to stop them. This is wishful thinking. I hope I’m wrong, but there’s just no way this thing gets killed by the Court now.
