Obama Care Upheld by Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld Obama Care. While it struck down the individual mandate on the bases of the commerce clause they upheld it as a tax. The net affect is still upholding of Obama Care.

Surprisingly the deciding Judge surprisingly was not Kennedy, but Roberts. However since the individual mandate was intended to a fine and was never intended to be a tax. In declaring this a tax the U.S. Supreme Court is legislating from the bench by rewriting a law passed by congress to make it Constitutional.

What they did was ruled that the congress’s authority to regulate individual behavior is limited under the commerce clause is limited but unlimited under it taxing authority. So while they can not mandate that you do something and fine you if you don’t they can mandate that you do something and tax you if you don’t. This 100% nitpicking of terms the negative affect on individual liberty is exact the same.

The inevitable affect of this ruling is that unless Obama Care. is repaired the economy will eventually collapse under the weight of a government with uncontrolled power. The immediate affect is likely to be an increase in unemployment as business try to get the money needed for their mandates under Obama Care and smaller business collapse under its weight.

As a result of this ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, the United States can not longer be called a free country. U.S. Supreme Court has effectively reduced us from citizens to subjects of an all powerful Government that can decree that we do something they demand and punish us for not doing it along as call it a tax and not a fine.

So comrades I would like to welcome you to the Slave States of America.

The Reasons Obama care is Unconstitutional

Challenges to Obama care have now reached the U.S. Supreme Court and it needs to be struck down because it is an unconstitutional power grab of unprecedented proportions over every aspect of the lives of the American people. The unconstitutional nature of Obama care stands on two main points.

The first problem is that the act was passed in violation of Article 1 Section 2 of the Constitution which says that all bills that produce revenue have to start in the house; however the bill that congress actually passed originated in the Senate and was passed unchanged by the House. This was done to prevent the bill being killed by a filibuster in the senate that would have resulted if they tried to put it through the senate again. However since Obama care has taxes in it, it is there fore a revenue act and had to start in the House but it did not and therefore is unconstitutional.

The second problem is the individual mandate that requires individual citizens to purchase Government approved health insurance. This is unconstitutional because of the fact that the Federal Government simply has no such authority to force people to by a product. The excuse given is the commerce clause which is already the most abused section of the constitution. Every previous claim of power under the commerce clause is based on a person taking action to engage in commerce. On the other hand under Obama care the Federal Government is now making an unprecedented claim of authority over not engaging in commerce by claiming that inaction is action. This is a fallacious claim that can not be allowed to stand since if allowed to stand it would literally give the Federal Government control over every aspect of the lives of every American. They are declaring the authority to dictate how every American spends the fruits of their own labor effectively reducing all of us to a state of forced servitude and slavery which is also a violation of the 13 Amendment.

Obama care is the biggest power grab in the history of the United States it is blatantly unconstitutional and if it is not stopped in will destroy and ready weak economy.
