SCOTUS Strikes Down ObamaCare Individual Mandate

[TheBigTim]

I think we just got a whole lot closer to the bottom of that long slope this Republic has been sliding down.

I fear this only opens the door with a cliff on the other side

 

[jedi]

The republic is dead.

Where now will Liberty find quarter?

Outer space off course!

I hear that soon you can buy a one way ticket to colonize Mars.

more like this...

The most troubling line of all in this decision, "When a court confronts an unconstitutional statue its endeavor must be to conserve, not destroy the legislation," Roberts wrote.

Think about the implications that line poses for future decisions.

I fear this is the death knell for our form of government. The founding fathers' efforts to protect us from the oppression of massive government control were all for naught. The floodgates are now wide open and we are now on the slippery slope. It seems to me that "government of the people, by the people, for the people" has indeed now perished from the earth.

Once again you cannot count on the USSC to vote on party lines.

But you can always count on the Left to vote for leftist causes. It's keeping the right/conservative from joining them that we have to watch out for.

I don't see how Obama's worshipers would be happy. After all, don't they want free healthcare?

This bastard can go to Hell.

 

[qmikep]

Meh, I will not comply or pay the tax. I ain't 'fraid of no IRS.

 

[longbow]

Look on the bright side, you'll get to spend more time on INGO waiting to see the Doctor or wating for other services from the hospital.............

This is the heart of the problem.The words of our Founding fathers are considered flawed,and their sense of the freedom of the individual is seen as rebellion.And so I ask you all,are you as dedicated to freedom as they?

 

[RockofStrength]

Well there goes my hope of retirement, guess who gets to pay for it.

Look on the bright side: we can set up a INGO cardboard box colony for all us youngin's

Seriously, if this is the reaction to the ACA being upheld, I have no faith that most people here are going to collapse if SHTF. Did anyone who was paying attention, seriously think that the SCOTUS was going to toss the entire thing? That was never going to happen. If people want this thing to go away there is only one recourse and that is for congress to repeal it. That was always the only realistic choice. So, call your congress critter, or write them a letter and tell them to get on it. Of course it probably won't get past the senate, but it's a start.

Some Acorn type group, funded by government grants, will emerge as heathcare consultants, to teach how to game the system. They will find a way to get it for free.

 

[Steelman]

So this is where Romney comes in with a plan. Romney?? Oh Mitty boy???? Anyone seen him? *crickets*


When we find him we'll be damn sure to vote Republican. We need a strong Republican candidate that would never impose something like this on the people of Massachusetts....err umm......America.


I remember reading about some country that had a real problem with this sort of taxation. Which one was it??? I'm so forgetful.

 

[hooky]

This makes the House and Senate races even more important in November, since congress is the body with the authority to levy taxes.

Ask Ed and Elaine Brown how that works out...
