Obama Care Ain't Going Nowhere!

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell


Americans may as well begin wrapping their minds around this reality: the Affordable Care Act––which has been defined by the Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts as a "tax"... and a/k/a Obamacare––is here to stay!!

Although many voters are angry at the recent Court ruling, and are revved up and vowing to show their discontent with this law via the voting booth this Fall.  The general mood in breadbasket America which is motivating Independents, Tea Party members and thousands in the Republican party by the droves is:
If Obama wins a second term, ObamaCare will go into effect, and it will be nearly impossible to reverse it in 2016 or later.  Ed Morrissey, HotAir.com July 2


Indeed, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal it on day one of his administration. Speaking on the day of the historic ruling, Romney made it clear:   
"What the Court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected President of the United States."   Presidential nominee Mitt Romney
But, as reality sets in... the fact is that repealing Obamacare at this juncture looks slim-to-none .    

According to U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,  "the odds are against repealing the health care law that was championed by President Barack Obama".  Read: http://www.whas11.com/news/local/McConnell-says-he-will-work-to-repeal-Obamacare-161089795.html

Let's face it... as various popular parts of Obamacare is implemented, i.e. folks with pre-existing conditions could qualify for catastrophic health insurance coverage; parents being able to carry adult children on their insurance through age 26... will make for a tough fight to repeal or reverse it.

Not holding my breath on this one.  Nope. I think Obamacare or some form of 'Romneycare', (as both these healthcare laws are kissing cousins) is the new normal in America. And the sooner we get use to it... the better!

SCOTUS Slaps 'Obamacare' Ball BACK To Voters' Court: 132 Days

5



The Supreme Court Justices' 6-3 decision on the constitutionality of President Obama's signature piece: the Universal Healthcare Act... a/k/a Obamacare has the potential to galvanize Americans in a way not seen since Roe v Wade.  

In a nutshell, the Justices, led by Chief Justice John Roberts have rendered a modern day "Pontius Pilate" decision, by saying in essence: "If you voters want to crucify Obamacare, do it on your own... it's not my job"!    

And when you think about it...and whether you like it or not... that decision is the correct one.  In a true democracy, the Congress and the President should be the only ones to repeal it, not the  judiciary branch.

So... the Obamacare ball has been lobbed to the voter's court.  And, in approximately 132 days, voters will have the chance to make the "will of the people" known by either voting to keep President Obama in office and let Obamacare stand... or voting to elect Gov. Mitt Romney, along with a majority GOP Congress and Senate, in hopes that Romney will keep his pledge to repeal Obamacare on his first day in office.






The countdown has officially begun.

DOJ High Noon Reponse: 3 Pages Of Skadamarack! UPDATE: AG HOLDER'S RESPONSE FAILS TO QUELL CHATTER!!!


UPDATE:   IF THE WHITE HOUSE THOUGHT AG HOLDER'S HIGH NOON LEGALESE RESPONSE WOULD QUELL THE MASS CONDEMNATION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA FOLLOWING HIS BULLYING OF THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES... THEY WERE DEAD WRONG ON THAT ONE! 
http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/66534/obama-now-kow-tows-to-judicial-branch



It's in!  And... the final verdict: the White House delivers what amounts to three pages of Skadamarack-- B.S., Cow dung... 

Did anyone really think President Obama's Department of Justice would submit anything that remotely resembled a mea culpa in the aftermath of the President's Tuesday comments regarding the SCOTUS?  I mean... really?

Did anyone expect that the widely anticipated three page, single-spaced DOJ homework assignment––that was  delivered at high noon today––would actually contain verbiage resembling the following:  

"President Obama is very sorry for crossing the line and overstepping his bounds in his flagrant attempt to bully the Supreme Court into not ruling against his signature legislation: Obamacare.  The President is fully aware that he does not... nor ever will have the power or authority to proclaim what legislation is or is not constitutional or unconstitutional. 

Furthermore, President Barack Obama fully acknowledges that the Supreme Court has the Ex.Clu.Sive power to reject/strike down/rip-into-itsy bitsy shreds any and all parts of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) a.k.a. Obamacare... and the President expects they will do precisely that–– more so now after he publicly challenged and tried to humiliate them––so that the American people can still have faith that the Supreme Court is the only "standing" and legitimate law-meting (sp) body of the land.  

And, P.S. The President will never pull that kind of stunt EVAH again... so help him God!"

If anybody was holding their breath awaiting comments to that affect from this White House...  Are you blue yet???

President Obama "Dares" SCOTUS To Mess With ObamaCare Law UPDATE: SMACK DOWN OF OBAMA BY JUDGE!!

Supreme Court of the United States. Back row (left to right): Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen G. Breyer, Samuel A. Alito, and Elena Kagan. Front row (left to right): Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg

 UPDATE: OBAMA HAS PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE "WRONG" GANG NOW. 5TH CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE GIVES HIGH NOON TUESDAY DEADLINE!!!  http://www.lsnewsgroup.com/2012/04/03/5th-circuit-court-of-appeals-fires-back-at-obama-doj-must-respond/



President Barack Obama recently issued an unmistakable, in-your-face,  "I-double-dog-dare-you" threat to members of the United States Supreme Court regarding his signature legislation: ObamaCare.  

In an unprecedented move––straight from the Godfather Don Corleone mafia-family playbook––Obama told these "unelected" Justices during a recent press avail and in front of the whole nation, mind you...  that they better not even think about overturning his Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act if they know what's good for them.

[…] for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly-constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example, and I’m pretty confident that this court will recognize that and not take that step.  [President Barack Obama]

Now that is high-noon, OK Corral, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday trash talkin' if I ever heard any!  As a matter of record... those are definitely street fightin' words where I come from, Mr. President.  

So, here is question on the lips of most Americans living in the heartland of this great country: 

What now.... since the once-constitutional-adjunct-professor-turned-sitting-President has officially put all  those members of the SCOTUS on "front-street" and reduced them to mere court jester-status in front of out-of-town company, i.e.  Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon?

Well... will Judges Scalia, Roberts, Alito, et. al. have the guts to overturn this controversial law and show the citizens of America that they can't be bullied?  Or ... will they too become like the complicit, main-stream media lapdogs and back-down––allowing the 'final nail' to be driven into the coffin of a nation that was once-ruled by the people... of the people... and for the people?

Not to be trite in anyway... but "the jury is out" on this one boys and girls!  We will have to wait and see.
