[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What almost all of the fools gloating over the probably/possible demise of the Aff. Healthcare Act do not understand is that there was unquestioned, indisputable, unanimous agreement among all the Justices and all counsel yesterday that Congress absolutely has the right to mandate health insurance as a condition of receiving health care.

The argument was all about the timing of when it can be required, with the so-called "conservatives" saying you can't force people to buy when they're young & healthy and don't need health care, but you can force them to buy it at the "point of sale" as a condition to receiving health care.

IOW, when you show up sick or grievously injured you can be forced to buy insurance before you're treated, only you'll be doing it from a high risk pool at wildly inflated prices compared to what you'd have paid if you bought it earlier along w/ everyone else mandated to have insurance before you need it.

So the smart alecks are completely missing the economic and systemic point and their gloating "big brother" attacks on Obama are utterly misplaced because there is no question (per the Court yesterday & counsel) that it is Constitutional to require anyone who wants health care to have health insurance.

I doubt that 1/2 of 1% of the haters have a clue about that (the level of ignorance in this country about the mandate and the health care system as a whole is just staggering to see).[/quote]

Mop up your spittle, crazy person.

Had Congress been forthright about what they intended and called it a tax (which it was) this never would have been a problem.  Alas, they didn't.  And why?  Because they wanted to ram it through Congress without a broad consensus and had to LIE (vis-a-vis the tax) in order to accomplish their goals.  It serves them right to get smacked in the face (or ass.  or both = same thing).

Stop fucking with the Constitution and assuming you're smarter than the electorate.  You are arrogant assholes - look in the mirror and face your weaknesses.  Consider not running again for an office to which you are obviously so poorly suited.

P.S.  It is hilariously and delightful how shocked and outraged you libs are at the fact that you can't mug the Constitution.  SO much fun!![/quote]

Conservatives had no trouble fucking with the constitution when it came to pot. Interstate commerce my ass  Even Thomas said It was no more interstate than a bucket of chicken.

But feel free to be the party of constitutional convenience. Switch back and forth as often as it suits you. [/quote]
