It's not just the right wingers. There are an awful lot of fairly liberal Democrats totally against this Bill as well. And more than a few who were originally against but didn't have the moral fortitude to stand up to Pelosi and Company. Most Americans want affordable health care for everyone. But not like this. When you don't have one single Republican vote. When you have lots of Democrats voting HELL NO. And when you have to engage in sleazy back-room deals and threats, you have a big problem.
Most of the country is against this bill. Not just the tea-party folks. Not just the Republicans. Not just right-wing conservatives. Any American who has even the most basic, high school level understanding of civics and law understands that this bill is unconstitutional. You cannot force individuals to purchase goods and services. Read the commerce clause.
Read the Tenth Amendment. Powers not delegated to the U.S. by the Constitution are reserved to the states. Read it again if you don't understand it. Do the research. Study the case law. The Supreme Court is probably giddy in anticipation of hearing this case. There is zero chance this will be allowed to remain a law. Zero.
The Supreme Court can also be denied jurisdiction. Oh, YES..
After the mess of the 2000 presidential election, they won't be eager to get involved.
America has moved, just like Social Security in 1935, Medicare in 1965, and now Health Care Reform in 2010. If you don't like, register your complaint in the next election, but it won't change anything about the passing of this bill.
It seems that some people are angry that Democrats had the nerve to take advantage of their majority and actually pass legislation. Please. If Republicans had been in control, they wouldn't have given a second thought to passing whatever they wanted to.
Tonight might be a great night to catch Beck in all his drama queen glory. "Oh I cry for my lost country boo hoo hoo!!!"
I am still psyched for the day when he goes back to his Top 40 DJ gig: "Glenn Beck and the Morning Zoooo!!!...I marvel at the fact that nobody realizes this is allllll a show from Mr. Beck. He is an entertainer, and he gets great ratings, but that is about it. This run of the past few years is no different than when a celebrity personality realizes a certain "Act" is working with their public. If legalizing hemp and welfare for all became the cry of the Republican party Glenn would be wearing a Hemp skirt and talking about how psyched he is about his food stamps...and how dare the Dems take it away. It is entertainment, nothing more.
It should be. Its largely ignored now anyway. Its outdated. It doesn't state the stuff about how a government can rip off its own people. The founding fathers would never have condoned todays US, or Obama even.
