Patriots are reminded that the fact that some RINOs want to keep Obamacare is constitutionally meaningless.
More specifically, regardless what lawless Obama’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices want everybody to think about Obamacare, consider that the Founding States effectively “repealed” Obamacare by not expressly constitutionally delegating to Congress the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the excerpts below, most excerpts from the writings of previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.
Regarding the constitutionality of the Obamacare insurance mandate for example, note the fourth entry in the list below from Paul v. Virginia. The excerpt clarifies that regulating insurance is not within the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3), regardless if the parties negotiating the insurance policy are domiciled in different states.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract [emphases added] of indemnity against loss.” —Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
The Ryan quote about we have a clear path to repealing Obamacare without 60 votes . . . was in a speech he gave January last year after both the Senate and House passed a bill.
The bill did NOT fully repeal it. It did what his current bill did. It defunded “many of the core features” of Obamacare. Go to House.gov and find the articles about the legislation. It was not some one sentence thing saying the entire original bill is null and void. It defunded core features. Just like the current bill.
The clear path . . . was because it was done through Reconciliation in the Senate one month prior.
You guys and these right wing blogs . . . they are feeding you fake news. Go look up the actual legislation, or the articles. The one particularly I’m quoting was in the Washington Examiner, a conservative paper. “Many of the core features”. There was no full repeal.
Thanks.
Obamacare and Rinocare effectively requires US citizens to buy a product. And even then, it is not really a product, as it is a contract. A legal contract between two parties.
Pretty amazing.
The federal government forcing us to buy something!
Next it will be hybrid cars. Everyone must buy a hybrid car under penalty of law.
Or it will be peaches, from Georgia. Everyone must buy a pound of Georgia peaches under penalty of law.
Whatever!!
So sad...
