Hi
HappyJoy Not just what I think but BELIEVE.
Actually, you're just speaking for yourself. It's been ruled constitutional. I know, I know, you don't agree. Guess what? Nobody cares about your impotent opinion.
Blacks being property and Americans of Japanese ancestry being put in concentration camps were also ruled Constitutional by the SCOTUS.
Doesn't make it right.
Very true. I wish you guys luck in your endevours. In the meantime, the ACA has been ruled constitutional, to say otherwise is simply incorrect.
Dear
HappyJoy Slavery was also endorsed by courts as legal under property laws at that time.
So what was considered legal by the "letter of the law" may still be violation by the "spirit" of the law.
You and I are talking about two different things.
You are talking about literally what the govt has passed or ruled on so far.
I am talking about the content and spirit of the law which the ACA CONTRADICTS.
Yes, I am talking about specifically what is constitutional and what is not. You're speaking simply of what you wish were...in this case unconstitutional. I can't tell you how much it doesn't matter. Why are you talking to me about this? Why did you quote my post that had nothing to do with the ACA? I'm not really concerned with your misguided theories.
1. You act like I'm the only one challenging the ACA as unconstitutional?
Last I checked half the nation contested it if not more.
At least the majority of Republican, Tea Party, Constitutionalists.
Half of Congress who voted against it.
2. You act like it's a done deal? There are still lawsuits.
There is still a need to push more legislation, so things will change.
This isn't finished yet.
3. Even the Universal Care and Singlepayer advocates are against the
ACA mandates giving money to corporate insurance.
Where have you been?
4. And lastly, I'm not saying your position doesn't matter you were saying mine doesn't.
But mine is shared with over half the nation, We just don't agree what to replace ACA with.
So it still stands because both left and right want to replace it with different things!
5. Your opinion that it's constitutional period is why things aren't getting corrected.
You don't see it as a problem that
HALF THE NATION has a different belief about health care and govt
that is being OVERRIDDEN BY GOVT -- excluded and penalized even.
You don't even see that as a constitutional issue.
So that is part of the problem, you don't even recognize the beliefs of other people matter.
that's like not recognizing if your actions at work constitute sexual harassment to someone else. As long as YOU don't think it matters, then "who care what the other person thinks." Really?
I recognize yours, I never said it didn't count. You acted like other beliefs don't count.
that was my concern.
You have the right to your beliefs, but not to abuse govt to impose it on others.
And same with my beliefs and other Constitutionalists ALL ARGUING
that ACA mandates are unconstitutional. That's why consensus is needed, because
there are Equal Beliefs at stake on BOTH SIDES.
In fact, I can't find anyone who is willing to pay for the cost of this bill.
Everyone I know, left and right, is complaining including Singlepayer/Universal care lobbyists.
I have to go online to find anyone who argues in support of it. Usually people who
don't feel it affects them, so they don't care. they let other people worry about fixing it.
Maybe I'm from Texas. So you are saying nobody from Texas matters?
Nobody has a say in whether to change the ACA, only people like you who are fine with it?
I disagree. Sorry. There will be lawsuit after lawsuit, and legislative and lobbying
to change the problems with this bill. I'm sorry you can't see that from your viewpoint.
I saw that it was problematic from the start.
From the very premise it was proven to be biased by creed,
when the half of Congress voting for it were all Democrats and the
half of Congress voting against it were Republicans. So this showed
the bias by belief, and the conflicts should have been resolved BEFORE passing it
through Congress and Courts which just added to the "side taking" and reinforced
imposing a bill against the beliefs of dissenters.
Sorry you don't see any of this. That's part of the problem with the country,
if we cannot even step outside our own beliefs to see those of others.
Very disturbing. And will likely require a Constitutional conference to address
the issue of "political beliefs and creeds" openly instead of denying this conflict is going on!
