Criminal Minds - Episode 69 - The Democrats

"It’s obvious why the majority has cooked up this amendment in secret, has introduced it in the middle of a snowstorm, has scheduled the Senate to come in session at midnight, has scheduled a vote for 1 a.m., is insisting that it be passed before Christmas — because they don’t want the American people to know what’s in it,” said

Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee. "

Anti-Injunction Act


[42] The government insists that this court lacks jurisdiction for an additional reason, alleging that the Anti-Injunction Act ("AIA"), 26 U.S.C. § 7421, bars this pre-enforcement suit


Simply put, and as the district court in Florida quite convincingly noted, to call the penalty provision a tax would require the court to ignore that Congress:


[52] (i) specifically changed the term in previous incarnations of the statute from "tax" to "penalty;"


[53] (ii) used the term "tax" in describing the several other exactions provided for in the Act;


[54] (iii) specifically relied on and identified its Commerce Clause power and not its taxing power;


[55] (iv) eliminated traditional IRS enforcement methods for the failure to pay the "tax;" and


[56] (v) failed to identify in the legislation any revenue that would be raised from it, notwithstanding that at least seventeen other revenue-generating provisions were specifically so identified.


[57] Id. at 1139. Regardless of whether the Bachmans' challenge is considered to apply only to the individual mandate or to both the mandate and tax by virtue of their tandem operation, the AIA is inapplicable. The penalty is not a tax.

Barbara Goudy-Bachman and v. United States Department of,
764 FS 684 No. 1:10-CV-763 (M.D.Pa. 01/24/2011)

Sen. Reid (D-Nazi Germany) knew or should have known that Article 1, section 7, paragraph 1 …all revenue bills must originate in the House of Representatives. No provision exists that grants the Senate authority to originate a revenue raising bill.
 
This act shows that Reid and his cohorts have a penchant for criminality:

The Senate began work on its own proposals while the House was still working on the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Instead, the Senate took up H.R. 3590, a bill regarding housing tax breaks for service members.[88] As the United States Constitution requires all revenue-related bills to originate in the House,[89] the Senate took up this bill since it was first passed by the House as a revenue-related modification to the Internal Revenue Code. The bill was then used as the Senate's vehicle for their healthcare reform proposal, completely revising the content of the bill.[90] The bill as amended would ultimately incorporate elements of proposals that were reported favorably by the Senate Health and Finance committees.

House votes unanimously to restore military death benefit snagged by shutdown


A senior White House official said that the Defense Department had warned Congress, before it passed a bill to pay the military during the shutdown, that the benefit would be cut off unless it was explicitly addressed.

So the democrats have a problem extending military benefits unless "explicitly addressed".

But they had no problem originating a bill in the Senate even though the policy is explicitly addressed by the Constitution .
