It's being reported on Fox News, The Number One Source of News in the USA, that obie wan and his doj don't want the health care law to go to the SCOTUS.. wonder why??
If this is true, maybe some of his lawyers told him that it is unconstitutional, and would probably lose in a Supreme Court that is stacked 5-4 against them.
If I knew how to link I would link to a story out of texas. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, Tx. Wrote an outline of the Health Care Bill HB3200. One of the points is page 50/section152, the bill will provide insurance for all non-u.s. residents, even if they are here illegally. Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individuals bank account to make electronic fund transfer from those accounts. These two provisions alone make this bill a socialist bill and unconstitutional. They cannot legally argue this, try.
I think the Obama admin. wants to play this out as long as possible in hopes one of the more conservative Supreme Court Justices might die or retire, increasing the odds of a tie or a win to their healthcare ambitions. It is all a political play, naturally.
Seems to me that the question of the Health Care bill ruling being done now, as to whether it is Constitutional, in certain parts , should be - Is it Constitutional for a large bill that takes over 1/6th of the economy , Constitutional, passing it by one party rule? I thought we were a 2 party system. Seems to me that the way it was passed is unconstitutional and that is what we should be taking it to the courts for.
