For those who don't know, the USDCDC is a fast track to the US Supreme Court. Chief Justice Roberts may yet redeem himself by declaring Obama Care a "tax". . Bucephelus |

If HR 3590 was a “shell bill” that had its contents completely replaced and even its title changed, did it really originate in the House, as the Justice Department says? Does the Senate have the power to turn something about home ownership for service members into an expansive health care entitlement program? If not, then could we reasonable argue that the legislation itself began in the Senate, even if the resolution number was the same? Only one thing seems certain: We haven’t seen the last of the legal challenges over Obamacare. Do you think the Pacific Legal Foundation has a case here?" So GLP, what's up? |

The Bill may have originated in the Senate but in effect it was a Health Care Bill which carried with it a means to pay for it. The Bill had to go through a Conference Committee and then was returned to each respective House for passage. Since both Houses concurred in the Conference Bill it will probably stand. |

Useless Cookie Eater User ID: 29696048 United States 04/01/2013 07:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . Quoting: Bucephelus A challenge filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation contends that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional because the bill originated in the Senate, not the House. Under the Origination Clause of the Constitution, all bills raising revenue must begin in the House. The Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the act in June, but Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. took pains in the majority opinion to define Obamacare as a federal tax, not a mandate. That was when the Sacramento, Calif.-based foundation’s attorneys had their “aha” moment. “The court there quite explicitly says, ‘This is not a law passed under the Commerce Clause; this is just a tax,’” foundation attorney Timothy Sandefur said at a Cato Institute forum on legal challenges to the health care act. “Well, then the Origination Clause ought to apply. The courts should not be out there carving in new exceptions to the Origination Clause.” Legal opinion on the matter is split. Randy Barnett, a Georgetown University Law Center professor, said in an article for the Volokh Conspiracy that, “If any act violates the Origination Clause, it would seem to be the Affordable Care Act.” [link to www.washingtontimes.com] , Let's hope this is successful....and/or the Republicans take the House, Senate and the Presidency and repeal this monstrosity. The useful idiots and sheep are realizing they have been had. |

People are already getting screwed with being reduced to workiing fewer thn 30 hours a week because companies do not know how much this will cost them. Premiums are already going up and doctors offices are being inundated with useless paperwork. Who knows how much is being spent building the bureaucracy that will be needed to enforce the 20,000 pages of regulations --- yes, that is right -- recently written by all sorts of non-health care agencies. All anyone really wanted was a little reasonabe insurance and malpractice lawsuit reforms such as selling insurance across state lines, giving individuals the same rates as groups, and not refusing coverage for pre-existing conditions and removing the lifetime limits. All of that could have been done in a few pages. Did not need 2700 pages to do it and we still don't really know what all is in those pages. |

Origination from the senate was pointed out from the outset by Ron Paul and others. I'm not sure what reality you guys are living in, but from where I stood Republicans helped nudge this thing through multiple times when it could have been stalled. There was always ONE REPUBLICAN who got it through committee, or ONE REPUBLICAN who waved right to stall, or ONE REPUBLICAN got it to the floor to vote on it. There was a good bit of political theater involved to be sure - but this thing was a bipartisan smokescreen. Here is the bottom line: The U.S. Dollar is collapsing, and an unprecedented number of penniless "baby boomers" will be broke and seeking health care... this is a plan to manage the crisis... and by manage it I mean ration it. You guys can keep waiting a year or two at a time for the SCOTUS to hear a case, or for the REPUBLICANS to fix it... but the fact is the REPUBLICANS worked with the DEMOCRATS to get it passed - it isn't going anywhere. |

No, in all of the votes back and forth on Obama Care, there was only ONE republican defector, and he was a fucking RINO who lost re-election anywa. Meanwhile, the House had as many as 40 Democrat defectors join the republicans to vote against Obama Care. In the Senate, there was never 60 votes to pass Obama Care. Sorry -- Obama Care had a built-in poison pill by starting in the Senate. Now someone is finally asking a Court to agree with that supposition. . Bucephelus |
