The uncovered are the result of failed market forces, period.
The ACA is not unconstitutional, period.
Until you can't courts to agree with you, Rott, your argument is fail.
Hi
JakeStarkey I will give you this much: if by YOUR interpretation of Constitutional and traditional adherence to laws as being passed by Congress and approved through the Supreme Court, you consider that "Constitutional" of course you are right.
Rottweiler and I are like the people who said SLAVERY was unconstitutional BEFORE it was officially abolished,
and that is what we are saying now, with ACA, but IN ADVANCE of this being "formally recognized."
This is like people arguing DOMA was "unconstitutional" even though it passed legally.
Even Clinton admitted later that it should not have been passed.
So you and others like me are using "unconstitutional" to mean violating principles in the Constitution
BEFORE this is established publicly by legal due process.
As I said previously, the first step is to form a consensus among the people that
something is INCONSISTENT WITH THE CONSTITUTION
be it Slavery, ACA mandates, or certain marriage laws,
and then once we establish an agreement there, it can be taken through the proper process to correct it legally through govt.
So
JakeStarkey I will back you and Dante and others who are saying it is not LITERALLY
declared unconstitutional yet, because the LITERAL law was interpreted to allow the ACA.
But I wholly AGREE with
Rottweiler that the ACA mandates are "inconsistent with the Constitution"
and should be made OPTIONAL in order not to impose this on people whose beliefs are violated by its enforcement.
If people VOLUNTEER to be under the mandates, it must remain a free choice.
So
JakeStarkey here is where I PLEAD with you not to teach just your view that it is constitutional
but also include the belief that it is not, and to explain the reasons,
so people have a free choice, based on being fully informed.
I am happy to explain to people why it is considered law, equally as why it is considered unconstitutional.
And give people the CHOICE whether to protest or to comply with it. This is still being contested as unlawful.
And I believe people have the RIGHT to know the laws and know why it is seen as a VIOLATION
of states' rights, right to vote, and citizens' rights to due process before being deprived of liberties.
