The pundits have been tossing guesses around for weeks -- months now. "Smart" money said the insurance purchase mandate would be struck down, a key provision of the President's Fascist healthcare law without which it could not be funded. A few people said they believed the whole law would be declared unconstitional.
This morning a few minutes after 10:00AM eastern time it was revealed, albeit in a shockingly confused and contradictory manner, that the individual mandate SURVIVED CONSTITIONAL CHALLENGE!!
mg: :argh: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Radio talk show host Neal Boortz provided an interesting observation; to whit, 'a court that would give us the Kilo decision* would also uphold Obamacare.'
In fact, as I write this Boortz stated "the supreme court doesn't really care about the Constitution anymore."
This decision horrifies and depresses me. We now live in a post-Constitutional country. It is now more imperative than EVER to remove Obama from office this November and install Romney. Romney may not be perfect but he has promised to help remove Obamacare.
Jaime Dupree, a reporter who appears on Boortz's show, claims this mandate survived because the court decided it was OK under the taxing power of congress, as opposed to the usual problem its critics' point out; the "commerce clause" does not allow this. But the court "punted" it over to the"taxing power." Oh, and the court had the utter gall to quote the tenth amendment in the decision!!!!:shocked::ek::help:
I reiterate: I am shocked and depressed at this occurance. :banghead::cluebat::cluebat::cluebat:
*The Kilo decision allows states to take property from one to give it to another individual who will pay a higher tax on it, thus allowing states to profit financially from the use of "eminent domain."
