Hip Hip Hooray!...or...What Now?

A Florida judge, today,  ruled that Obamacare is unconstitutional; the cheers here were loud and clear!

Here is a link to the entire ruling:

Florida vs. the US Dept. of Health and Human Services et al

I have not read it all, but a friend highlighted this particular section and I thought it was an excellent analogy:

Pg. 42:

"It would be a radical departure from existing case law to hold that Congress can regulate inactivity under the Commerce Clause. It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place. If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be “difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power”[Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only. Surely this is not what the Founding Fathers could have intended. See id. at 592(quoting Hamilton at the New York Convention that there would be just cause to reject the Constitution if it would allow the federal government to “penetrate the recesses of domestic life, and control, in all respects, the private conduct of individuals”) (Thomas, J., concurring)."

As it stands now, two for and two against; this will surely go to the Supremes now. If we are to save the Republic, prayer is in order. We are a nation in peril, we must raise our voices to our Heavenly Father; He alone has the power to sway the court for Liberty.

Founding Fathers Rejoice

Here is an article I'd like to share this morning. Some will dismiss it because it's from a Fox News opinion writer, but that would be a mistake. The author brings up some really good points favoring the "little guy," which the left claims to champion.
I'm not saying that we are out of the woods on this particular issue, I can see potential problems with a company like GM donating money to a candidate. However, we as "the People" have been lazy over the last generation, and have let advertisments (money) sway our decisions. It's our job, our obligation to do the work to vet a candidate ourselves; an issue ourselves. There may be oodles of money floating around, but we need to take a hard look, and only vote for someone who shares our values and our goals as closely as possible.

We also need to be very, very concerned when a sitting president threatens the Supreme Court. Socialism will not stand for dissent, the opposition will be vilified at all costs, and eliminated if possible. Be watchful.
