Guilty of not doing nothing

Usual Suspect Rules
Obamacare Constitutional
Even though ObamaCare is a novel application of the Commerce Clause because it regulates the act of not engaging in economic activity, the judge concluded that in reality the Commerce Clause power extends to all economic decisions that affect commerce. He also argued that a person can not guarantee that he or she will opt out of the health care market. -TAS


Federal Judge George Steeh Rejects Challenge To Key Elements Of Health Care Law

Let's put aside for a moment that US District Court Judge George Steeh
  • was recommended for the bench by Senator Carl Levin
  • was  appointed by Bill Clinton. 
  • is president of the Arab American Bar Association
  • is a social activist, including being an active member of the Interfaith Council for Racial Justice (one of which guiding principles is, ironically, Opposing political power that is derived from a racist appeal)
  • Has a history of basing far reaching decisions on "feel good" emanations.
Forget all that.  How in the hell do you bend the Commerce Clause pretzel,  yet again,  to regulate the act of not engaging in economic activity?  Arguing that a person can not guarantee that he or she won't do something?

I am in the school that thinks removing (impeaching) activist judges ought be the single highest priority of congress.  This guy is a poster boy candidate for inclusion.


This is just one suit, and a relatively minor one at that.  Here's a clearing house site for all suits being brought against Obamacare,

Just one suit but great timing. Mow more people will think that the best way out is repeal.

My repeal is to vote the sumbitches out and put them in prison. Repeal the damn unconstitutional law - which the cipher will veto so we are back to square one. Congress must not fund ANY of the onerous legislation - that is the only power they have left. The cipher has taken all other power for himself. Socialism is insidious and nasty. They sneak in but, we are wise and won't let em in now will we????

Late at night, as I'm drifting off to sleep, I smile as I soothe my troubled soul with a vision of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Joe Biden being frog-marched out of their respective offices in handcuffs and leg shackles! What a lovely, lovely sight!

I have similar bedtime fantasies Gayle, but mine feature orange tracers ...

The wetting down will commence at my place around 1700. If nobody shows up, I'll start without you.

Congratulations Casca.

Secretly I'm hoping to be promoted to General Corporal this quarter.
