Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. There was one thing I forgot to mention in my earlier post. Kessler actually provides the definition of a particularly critical word; ironically, she completely undermines the definition in the same paragraph, then then spends the rest of the opinion further undermining that definition because it doesn’t fit her political views. But this | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. So another Clinton-appointed federal judge, Gladys Kessler of the D.C. District (part of the D.C. Circuit), ruled the Obamacare mandate is entirely Constitutional (via Gabe Malor). In a pig’s eye. While Kessler does grant standing to the plaintiffs (something other Democrat judges haven’t done in many of these Obamacare cases), her “analysis” regarding | Read More »
Via DrewM. at AOSHQ and Andrew Stiles at The Corner: The costs of those coverage expansions—which include the cost of the subsidies to be provided through the exchanges, increased outlays for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and tax credits for certain small employers—will be partially offset by revenues from the excise tax on high-premium insurance plans and net savings from other coverage-related | Read More »
As is already known, U.S. District Court Judge Roger Vinson of the Northern District Court of Florida declared that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) was unconstitutional in its entirety. His 78-page opinion (Florida v. HHS) is remarkable for its depth of understanding how Obamacare violates the Constitution, specifically the Commerce Clause. In most rulings, Justices and judges will attempt to ascertain Congress’ | Read More »
Greg Sargent and Adam Serwer get paid to be advocates for a leftist agenda via the Democratic Party. Serwer, who normally writes for leftist trash American Prospect has a post on Sargent’s Plum Line blog that is short on the Constitution and the law and long on snark. He links to one of his own posts at American Prospect, which links to another post by | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. This is what a real judicial ruling looks like, one based on the U.S. Constitution, compared to other “rulings” based on the talking points of the Democratic Party. Judge Henry Hudson of the Eastern District of Virginia, appointed by President George W. Bush, overturned the Obamacare mandate requiring individuals to buy health insurance | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. As was the case with Thomas More Law Center v. Obama (TMLC), a Clinton-appointed Democratic political official masquerading as a federal judge issued a political statement of Democratic talking points masquerading as a judicial ruling. I don’t want to delve too much into the weeds of this “ruling” since Liberty University, et al. | Read More »
This is the time of year for many employees to select their health insurance options for the upcoming year. To keep the same policy, my health insurance premiums will increase 11%. I could change options, but this is the option that is most feasible. Obama and the Democrats claimed that their new law (and it is THEIR new law) would lower costs. We knew that | Read More »
Full Disclosure: I am not a lawyer nor a trained legal scholar. District Court Judge George Caram Steeh, a Clinton appointee, issued a ruling yesterday regarding Obamacare in Thomas More Law Center, et al. v. Obama, et al. (TMLC). Reading through his “judicial” opinion, I got the sense that the most pertinent parts were written by a Democratic political operative, not a judge; it’s the | Read More »
