In past articles, I have mentioned that the Supreme Court can conceivably delay a decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare if they determine that the penalties through the tax code essentially are a tax and, therefore, the Anti-Injunction Act would put off the issue until 2015. To do so, the Obama Administration would have to prove that the penalty is a tax, something they argued | Read More »
To do justice to this subject, this must be presented in several parts because there are several issues the Supreme Court must decide. I should say up front that I am adamantly opposed to Obamacare. I believe that there are better ways to address health care reform than that which was chosen. Additionally, the method used- budget reconciliation- to pass a law that reordered 16% | Read More »
One would be remiss to ignore the Obama Administration’s latest example of hypocrisy, stupidity, and attack on religion. To recount, as part of Obamacare, it now appears that religious organizations must cover contraception in their offered health care insurance packages with employees. Obviously, this has raised the ire of the Catholic Church in particular. First, as a Catholic, I can safely say that many Catholics | Read More »
Many of the pundits here and elsewhere seem to be on the attack against Mitt Romney because of his health care reform effort in Massachusetts known today as Romneycare. I think, whether one supports Mitt Romney or not, that this will be used by Obama should Romney be the GOP nominee. That is a given. That is a big proverbial “duh.” Pontificating about this inevitability | Read More »
The single act that broke the camel’s back and galvanized the Tea Party into electoral action was the passage of the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare. Some in the Democratic Party have objected to the term “Obamacare” as being derogatory. However, if you want to lay claim to it as your signature piece of legislation, it is quite hypocritical for your Party | Read More »
As a long time observer of the United States Supreme Court, I am going to go out on an early limb here and make a prediction. First, it needs to be mentioned that there are so many controversies and subplots involved here. For example, there is the controversy over whether Elena Kagan should recuse herself from this case. Quite frankly, it is hard to believe | Read More »
As the special election NY-26 illustrated, the Democrats will come after the eventual Republican nominee for President with all guns blazing. In that race, according to most pundits, the defining issue was entitlement reform, specifically Medicare. Framed by those on the Left as a referendum on Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform plan, a more likely factor in the Republican loss was the presence of a third | Read More »
As many may be aware, New Jersey recently lost out on a potential $400 million grant under the Race to the Top program. Ten states qualified with Ohio being the tenth and New Jersey missing by three points under their scoring system. The reason New Jersey lost is that they included State education figures for the years 2010 and 2011 instead of 2008 and | Read More »
It looks like the Democrats are about to embark on a $125 million media campaign to sell to the American public health care reform- Obama style- in advance of the midterm elections. It must have dawned on some liberal egghead Democratic strategist that this remains one of the Democratic Party’s Achille’s heels (among others) this election cycle. Of course, practically every poll out there shows | Read More »
