Virginia among several dozen possible other individual statesimmediately prepares court challenge to legality of ObamaCare mandates.
Virginia among several dozen possible other individual states immediately prepares court challenge to legality of ObamaCare mandates. Washington Post UPDATED: Cuccinelli to file suit 'as soon as the ink is dry' on health- care signature A spokesman for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said Sunday evening that he has already prepared his court filings challenging the constitutionality of the health-care reform measure that just now passed the House. According to spokesman Brian Gottstein, Cuccinelli will file suit on behalf of the Commonwealth in the Eastern District of Virginia "as soon as the ink is dry" on President Obama's signature on the bill. Cuccinelli, who has filed suit against the EPA challenging the agency's regulation of greenhouse gases, has been the most vocal of several Republican attorneys general who have promised to sue over health care. Just over a week ago, Virginia became the first state in the country to pass a state law making it illegal for the government to require an individual to purchase health insurance, a key element of the bill. UPDATE 11:35 p.m.: Why file so quickly? Gottstein: "It's more cost efficient to start the process of challenging the bill as soon as possible. There are significant costs in implementing the health care law, so if it is going to be found unconstitutional, then we can save taxpayer money and trouble by making that determination sooner rather than later."

As the whole nation watched the bill being passed, they are going to sue who? Explain who they are going to sue? |

Anybody who hands over campaign financing to big money is reliable to do similar things in other areas. |

Virginia among several dozen possible other individual states...
There would be precisely four dozen plus one "possible other individual states." I have no idea how many non-individual states might act. UPDATED: Cuccinelli to file suit 'as soon as the ink is dry' on health- care signature ... Cuccinelli himself has stated that he expects the suit to be symbolic, and to produce no useful results. -- Larry (in VA) |

On 22/03/10 16:45, in article , "Jigsaw1695" wrote: Two Supreme Court rulings affirmed the constitutionality of the Social Security Act. * * * Steward Machine Company v. Davis, 301 U.S, 548[22] (1937) held, in a 5*4 decision, that, given the exigencies of the Great Depression, "[It] is too late today for the argument to be heard with tolerance that in a crisis so extreme the use of the moneys of the nation to relieve the unemployed and their dependents is a use for any purpose narrower than the promotion of the general welfare". The arguments opposed to the Social Security Act (articulated by justices Butler, McReynolds, and Sutherland in their opinions) were that the social security act went beyond the powers that were granted to the federal government in the Constitution. They argued that, by imposing a tax on employers that could be avoided only by contributing to a state unemployment-compensation fund, the federal government was essentially forcing each state to establish an unemployment-compensation fund that would meet its criteria, and that the federal government had no power to enact such a program. * * * Helvering v. Davis, 301 U.S. 619 (1937), decided on the same day as Steward, upheld the program because "The proceeds of both [employee and employer] taxes are to be paid into the Treasury like internal-revenue taxes generally, and are not earmarked in any way". That is, the Social Security Tax was constitutional as a mere exercise of Congress's general taxation powers. You clearly don't understand the merits of the various challenges. This challenge is not like Social Security... it is not a tax. Rather, the federal government is requiring you to purchase a good or service from a third party. Additionally, the Constitution requires that both houses of Congress act on the bill in the same manner... that is not the case here the voting procedure was different. Instead of getting legitimate reform, we will now have a bill that will be tied up in the courts for years and years. But what is most shocking, that in the more than 2000 pages of this bill... it doesn't even spell out the benefit... it defines three levels of insurance... but those will be defined later by some "panel". That is shameful. jay Mon Mar 22, 2010 |
