In oral arguments in the Supreme Court this week over the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care plan’s requirement that individuals must buy health insurance, Justice Antonin Scalia posed to Obama’s solicitor general a fundamental question that the mandate raises about the nature of the U.S. government.

“If the government can do this, what else can it not do?” asked Scalia.

Scalia asked the question in the context of quizzing Solicitor General Donald Verrilli on the administration’s claim that forcing people to buy health insurance is justified by the clause in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution that allows Congress to “make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers.” In this case, the administration argued that the “foregoing power” that made forcing people to buy health insurance a “necessary and proper” act of Congress was the Commerce Clause.

I’m pretty convinced the media is running a false flag right now, trying to assure people that the “Justices” are skeptical about this “legislative” monstrosity, because they know it was not popular when it passed, and it’s far more hated now.

However, one has to conclude that the Supreme Court must know that they will render themselves a dictatorial joke if they can somehow contort the constitution and existing case law to find a legal basis for Obamacare. If they actually rubber stamp this, for me that’s the last straw.
Few people grasp that universal services are a data chokepoint. Every piece of your habitat has a bearing on your wellbeing, so can eventually become entangled in this legal framework.

If you need a keeper and decider, come to work for me, and do not talk back. You are morally unfit to make decisions for responsible people.
The banker owned obamacare plan doesn’t do anything to protect freedom.

It steals freedom.

Burn it on the White House lawn for all to see.

As a lawyer Kagan helped draft and defend Obamacare. Kagan should have already recused herself due to conflict of interest but has proven too unethical to do so. Does Chief Justice Roberts have the power? I can’t see Eric Holder doing it since we already got to see from the Fast and Furious scandal ethics are of no concern to him unless he’s giving a speech about the virtues of ethics.
- I agree, Video of The 3…I mean, Caviar. Haha. It’s all good…
  
  What bothers me is that Kagan is just about the only one who knows what is really in this bill. The justices haven’t read it, Congress didn’t read it (they didn’t even have time to before voting on it) and it is likely that Obama didn’t even read it. If just the small parts that they have actually read are so unconstitutional (there is no question) then what is holding up the verdict here? Don’t bother answering – that was a rhetorical question. We know the script they are following.
  
  If it ever comes to light to the masses what this is really about then not only should Kagan be recused, she should be prosecuted for treason to the full extent of the law.
