Americans Will Soon Have Standing to Destroy Obamacare

Americans will soon have standing to destroy Obamacare. The American people can stop Obamacare. It will take some guts and some risk, but we can shut it down tomorrow. Let me explain.

In National Federation of Independent Business et al v. Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, et al., the Supreme Court ruled the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) penalties to be a tax, not a penalty. Chief Justice Roberts was chastised for this action. It has always been my belief that Justice Roberts’s actions and opinion was brilliant and eventually history would vindicate his decision and his wisdom.

Roberts gave America a skillfully crafted opinion and the opportunity to shut down the law. He also avoided having his court—a court that he will preside  over until he retires or dies—from being accused of legislating from the  bench; at least by liberals who were stoking the fires of discontent during the  US Supreme Court Obamacare hearings.

The U.S. Constitution’s Origination Clause (Art. I, Sec 7) require all tax bills to originate in the House of Representatives. Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act originated in the Senate making the laws tax unconstitutional. No argument was made over the penalty provision of the law. Only that the laws mandate was unconstitutional.

All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

–Article 1, Section 7

No one thought to argue that the penalties were in fact a tax. During the legislative process, the Democrats fought long and hard to convince Americans that they “would not be taxed.” Remember? Democrats and the liberal media told the country—repeatedly–that people who did not sign up would pay a penalty, not a tax.

Chief Justice Roberts has set the stage, for what I believe, can be a massive citizen effort to bring suit to overturn the heart and soul of Obamacare legislation for the enforcement of the illegal tax provision of the law. So why has this provision of Obamacare gone unchallenged?

To bring a successful suit seeking remedy from a court, the party or parties to the suit must have legal standing. Basically, a plaintiff must show that they have suffered some direct or substantial injury or be likely to suffer such injury if a particular wrong is not redressed. Moreover, a defendant must also be shown to be the party responsible for Article from perpetrating the alleged wrong doing.  Without standing, a case has no merit and more than likely would be dismissed.

PUT ME IN CHARGE

On November 18, 2010, the Waco Tribune-Herald (WTH) published a letter to the editor by Alfred W. Evans of Gatesville, TX. Since its publication, the letter has gone viral.  Waco Tribune-Herald, Nov. 18, 2010  Put me in charge

Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

AND while you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
