Nationalized healthcare is unconstitutional—DUH!!!


I received the following e-mails yesterday. Since it breaking, major news, I’m posting them today. Of course, the parade through the federal court system is just beginning so it is NOT time for a victory celebration. However, it is a start and a start in the RIGHT direction!

Breaking News: Federal Judge Roger Vinson has just issued a ruling declaring the full scope of ObamaCare unconstitutional. (See the ruling—HERE).

http://www.scribd.com/doc/47905937/Health-Care-Ruling-by-Judge-Vinson

The judge ruled that one cannot sever the most unconstitutional portion of the legislation (the government decree that an individual must obtain federally mandated health insurance) from the entire health care bill.

Here’s one of our favorite passages from the ruling:

‘It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place. If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be ‘difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power’ [Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only. Surely this is not what the Founding Fathers could have intended.’

You can bet that Obama’s Justice Department will fight this decision—but we wanted to celebrate with you this important victory: we ALL know ObamaCare is unconstitutional.

We ALL know it is wrong and against the principles this nation was founded under.

“Federal Judge Roger Vinson Declares Obamacare Unconstitutional and Void!

Friends,

Today, we had a huge victory when a Federal Judge, Roger Vinson, ruled that Obamacare is unconstitutional and void. The Judge even referenced the Federalist Papers and James Madison in his decision. How refreshing that a Judge respects and upholds the constitution!

In the 78 page decision, the Judge wrote the following, which can be found on page 42:

‘It would be a radical departure from existing case law to hold that Congress can regulate inactivity under the Commerce Clause. If it has the power to compel an otherwise passive individual into a commercial transaction with a third party merely by asserting—as was done in the Act—that compelling the actual transaction is itself ‘commercial and economic in nature, and substantially affects interstate commerce’ [see Act § 1501(a)(1)], it is not hyperbolizing to suggest that Congress could do almost anything it wanted. (EXACTLY!!!—my addition) It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place. If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be ‘difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power’ [Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only. (EXACTLY!!! And EXACTLY what the left wants—my addition) Surely this is not what the Founding Fathers could have intended.’ (EXACTLY!!!—my addition)

Another important victory today is that every single GOP Senator has signed on to sponsor the Health Care Repeal Bill in the Senate. You can read more on this effort here.
