LIGHTS OUT!

The Affordable Health Care`Act {(as misnomer a name as can be dreamt up) is as flagrantly unconstitutional as any law could be:

1.  It is a broad-sweeping MANDATE requiring us TO DO something (buy insurance) and that is a direct uncompromisable conflict with FREEDOM.  Does anyone out there not know that?  Then why have I heard not one word spoken about that in the media, in Washington, District of Clowns, anywhere?

2.  Certain favored groups are exempt from the law...a clear cut violation of the Constitutional requirement that all are to be treated EQUALLY under the law.

3.  The Act puts the federal government into the the insurance business, which is not listed as an enumerated power, and is thus a violation of the specified Constitutional provision that all powers not enumerated as being given to the federal government are reserved to the States and to the PEOPLE.

4.  The President on his own has chosen to amend the law, change the law, by granting exemptions from the law to various chosen groups, and unilaterally postponing the implementation of the law to other groups.  Problem is:  the President has no authority to make or rewrite law.  That is an exclusive function of Congress.  The President's sole function is to enforce our laws, not to make them...a responsibility he has sworn under oath to fulfill, and which he has repeatedly violated. 

5.  Etc.

Yes, the Supreme Court has declared the Affordable Act to be Constitutional, but that does not make it so.  SCOTUS, intended to be an independent branch of the government, has been politicized.  We no longer hear of "experienced, brilliant, legal scholars" serving on the Court.   What we hear is of "liberal or conservative judges"...another misnomer, since justices are meant to be OBJECTIVE, IMPARTIAL and PRINCIPLED, and not BIASED toward a political perspective.

The fact that SCOTUS has declared Obamacare constitutional does not make it so.  Slavery was once declared to be constitutional.
