As Republicans contemplate their response to President Obama‘s coming nomination to the Supreme Court, we should go beyond the traditional scrutiny over social issues and demand that any nominee elaborate his or her views about the constitutionality of the recent legislation passed by this Administration. The hearings on his nominee will be an ideal opportunity to convince the public of the unconstitutionality of his power grabs.

The Obamacare bill, for example, not only strips states of the right to determine who will get Medicaid coverage within their borders, but it forces the states to pick up part of the tab. This is a violation of the very concept of the Tenth Amendment which provides that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

The Medicaid mandate literally takes budgeting and taxing out of the hands of state governments and gives the power to the federal government. About one-third of the difference between the high tax levels in a state like New York (8.5% income tax) and Texas (no income tax) is the difference in their Medicaid eligibility standards. By forcing Texas to come up to New York’s standards — and to pay for part of it — the health care law socks the lawmakers in Austin with a $2.7 billion annual hole in their budget. Effectively, this unfunded mandate takes away from the states the right to determine their own level of taxation for state services.

Obama‘s lawyers justify this outrageous usurpation by claiming that states do not have to participate in the Medicaid program and can opt out entirely. But, the courts have held that when such “voluntary” decisions are so draconian that they are really unrealistic, they amount to coercion. For example, states may not require drug tests for welfare recipients claiming that they do not have to apply for welfare. No state is going to throw all of their elderly nursing home patients out on the street by opting out of Medicaid.

Judge Andrew Napolitano, author of the excellent new book, Lies the Government Told You, warns of the unconstitutionality of the limitation on executive pay contained in the TARP program. He cites the doctrine “against unconstitutional conditions,” arguing that “The government may not condition the acceptance of a governmental benefit on the non-assertion of a constitutional liberty.” Because the freedom of contract is constitutionally protected, the government may not “condition corporate welfare on the prohibition of contracts with employees above an arbitrary salary amount.”

The very foundation of the health care bill — the individual mandate that people have to buy health insurance — is unconstitutional. Clearly, the government would have the authority to tax each person and use the money to provide insurance. But can it make everyone buy a privately provided product from a third party?

The Heritage Foundation thinks not, noting that “an individual mandate to enter into a contract with or buy a particular product from a private party, with tax penalties to enforce it, is unprecedented–not just in scope but in kind–and unconstitutional as a matter of first principles and under any reasonable reading of judicial precedents.”

The Foundation correctly points out that “nowhere in the Constitution is Congress given the power to mandate that an individual enter into a contract with a private party or purchase a good or service and… no decision or present doctrine of the Supreme Court justifies such a claim of power.”

The authors of the Obama Bill say that requiring people to buy health insurance is covered by the constitution’s interstate commerce clause, which allows Congress to regulate a “class of activity.”

But where is the interstate commerce? Congress has refused specifically and repeatedly to allow health insurance companies to compete across state lines. Republicans have been seeking this authority for years as a way to use private competition to hold down costs, but the Democrats have always refused.

And the Heritage Foundation asks a further question: What activity is being regulated? The activity of not buying health insurance? As the foundation notes, “proponents of the individual mandate are contending that, under its power to ‘regulate commerce’ . . . Congress may regulate the doing of nothing at all.” The absurdity of this is clear: “never in this nation’s history has the commerce power been used to require a person who does nothing to engage in economic activity. Therefore, no decision of the Supreme Court has ever upheld such a claim of power.”

Liberals who try to justify the individual mandate to buy health insurance often cite state government requirements that drivers must buy automobile insurance. But this comparison misses two key points: First, that requirement extends only to those who wish to drive, not to every citizen. And, second, states do indeed have broad police powers to act in the interest of the public’s health, safety, and welfare. But Washington doesn’t. Its powers are confined to those enumerated in the Constitution–and, try as they might, it’s hard to find any provision allowing the feds to impose such a requirement on all Americans.

The Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee need to ask Obama‘s nominee to defend the constitutionality of his legislation and use the hearings as a forum to demonstrate how these bills violate not just the letter of the Constitution but the very spirit of federalism and individual freedom.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read:5 Greatest Sentences

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Have you ever heard that a dog can ‘sense’ when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?

Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia , dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?

Somehow they always know when they can ‘go for a ride’ before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?

I’m a firm believer that animals – and especially dogs – have keen insights into the Truth.

And you can’t tell me that dogs can’t sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance

Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn’t right… when impending doom is upon us … They’ll always try to warn us…!!

73% of Voting Americans haven’t wanted this monstrosity thrust down their throats, but the Obama  WH Progressives-Liberals-Democrats, better known as left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum voted for the monstrosity bill, despite 73% not wanting the stinking legislation.

If anyone thinks this is for health care, than you better think again. The entire legislation is about “absolute” control over every aspect of our lives. Make no mistake about it, that’s exactly what the left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum are wanting. And I suspect that’s what they will be proceeding to next. Pelosi has already stated there will be a lot more legislation coming. She made that promise already. Do you want to guess what kind of legislation that might be?

Take for example, if they don’t want you smoking in your own house, then they will just add another amendment to the current bill outlawing smoking in your own house, or any where on your property. Same thing for your automobile. Canada has already passed just such a law under their health care bill.

If they don’t like guns, which they don’t, then they will simply write another amendment outlawing guns, because guns are bad for your health. If they don’t like you eating potato chips, well guess what, another amendment and you can’t eat potato chips or any other food they deem inappropriate. If they don’t want you fishing in that lake, then they will add another amendment, stating that fish from that lake are bad for your health. So no more fishing there. If they don’t like you playing football in that park, well guess what. No more football in that park. After all, it’s bad for your health. Don’t you see, they can simply add anything they want to add. You’ll likely never know about it, until its too late. The police will be hauling your ass off to jail, because you violated their law.

And the list goes on and on and on. There will be no end to the legislation the left-wing bastards and bitches will be adding as amendments under the so called Health Care Bill. Mark my words folks, that’s exactly what will be happening….and soon!

The only redeeming issue at this point will be taking back our House and Senate, starting with the 2010 elections. Let’s make it a real point to vote out ALL Progressives-Liberals-Democrats, you know all those left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum. You notice democrats comes last. You see, there aren’t really any “caring” democrats in the United States of Obama any more. It used to be the peoples party…Now that’s a JOKE! None of them listen to the people! Many democrats are switching parties as well. We welcome them. Right?

It really makes me sick folks. We used to have the best health care system in the world, bar none, in the United States of Something, but that is no more, if we allow them to get back by with this treason. And it is treason! All of those left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum swore to uphold the Constitution, but they’ve completely ignored that wonderful paper written by our Founding Fathers. It’s been replaced by the left-leaning bastards and bitches.

As for Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the remaining left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum, they will all go down in history as absolute degenerates who had no regard for the Constitution or our Rule of Law in this country. I suspect that GOD has a special place for all of those left-wingers in HELL, not HIS Heaven. They won’t stop, just GO straight to HELL. We can thank GOD for that event. I’m certain GOD is aware of this plight.

Perhaps one day we will get back to the United Sates of Something. Only the Conservatives and maybe Republicans can handle that for us. It must all be done legislatively. But so far they haven’t been doing much for the RIGHT side. In the meantime let’s vote all the left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum out of office starting November 2010. Then vote out Obama and all his Chicago gangsters in 2012. When Obama goes, they all go. This must happen and I believe that it will. There are tens of thousands of good conservatives that can make this happen.

We have some fantastic Conservative-Republicans  that will make extremely good candidates for President. So let’s vote that person in along with ALL Republicans in the House and Senate so we can take back our country from the left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum. Note heavy on the word CONSERVATIVE!

May GOD Bless us all. Right now we need all the conservative help we can get to fight the left-wing Bottom-Feeder Scum!

Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn’t stop there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides : The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states : The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.

Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:

1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn’t show his emotions. It’s very hard to know what’s behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn’t care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal.. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage.. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future… We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state’s rights..

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama‘s allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was..

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it’s between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight.. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance… The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children’s futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!
