Did Justice Roberts engage in judicial tyranny when upholding Obamacare as a tax?

Deranged and bigoted -- one hell of a combination.

I see you are still obsessed with posting insulting remarks rather than having a dialog to ferret out the facts.

How about quoting from Roberts’ opinion in which he addresses (A), (B) and (C)?

(A)

identified the constitutionally authorized tax [an impost, duty, excise, a tax upon incomes without apportioning it, or a direct tax] that may be levied upon those who fail to purchase federally approved health insurance and be within the limits of the taxing authority resorted to?

(B)

identified which grant of authority beneath Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 __ the clause granting power to Congress to lay and collect taxes __ which was intended to, or even remotely thought by the Founders, to be a grant of power allowing Congress to enter the states and require the people therein to purchase federally approved health insurance.

(C)

identified the time period when the people of the United States debated granting power to Congress to enter the various united States and regulate their health care needs and choices, and then granted such power under Article V of our Constitution which is the only lawful way to grant new powers to Congress and requires the approval of the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof

Additionally, Phineas Finn, why would any freedom loving person in America not see Obamacare as being legislative tyranny backed up by judicial tyranny when Obamacare infringes upon a fundamental right of mankind ___ the inalienable right of people being free to make their own choices and decisions regarding their health care needs? And why do so many women who want the government out of their womb, embrace Obamacare which is intended to assume total control over their entire body? Do they not realize what they are embracing when they give thumbs up to Obamacare?

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon an Obama, welfare, food stamp, section 8 housing, college loan check, and now free Obamacare along with FREE BACON, we can blackmail them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s productive population enslaved to pay the bills ____ Obama’s Marxist Free Stuff Party, which is designed to establish a federal dictatorship and redistribute the incomes which wage earners, business and investors have worked to create.

What is most astonishing about the Roberts‘ opinion is, he made no attempt to identify the constitutionally authorized tax which may be used to levy the “shared responsibility payment” upon those who do not have federally approved health insurance. In effect Roberts assumes one of the taxing powers granted to Congress may be used to collect the “shared responsibility payment” and will be within the limitations of the taxing powers granted to Congress.


And what are some of the limitations of Congress’ specific taxing powers?


(a) Direct taxes must be apportioned among the States;


(b) indirect taxes must be uniform throughout the united States;


(c) imposts and duties are taxes imposed on the importation or exportation of goods;


(d) excise taxes are taxes levied upon the manufacture, sale, or consumption of goods, or upon licenses to pursue certain occupations, or upon a privilege granted by government such as a corporate granted charter and must be uniform throughout the united States;


(e) taxing incomes without apportionment is triggered by the realization of profits or gains which are then taxed, and the tax must be uniform throughout the united States when levied.


So which authorized tax may be used to levy the “shared responsibility payment” upon those who do not have federally approved health insurance, and be within the limitations of the tax pointed to?


It should also be noted that Justice Roberts admits the shared responsibility payment is triggered by not obtaining federally approved health insurance. But he ignores that acts of government which impinge upon fundamental rights are presumptively unconstitutional, e.g., see City of Mobile v. Bolden, 466 U.S. 55, 76, 100 S.Ct. 1490, 64 L.Ed.2d 47 (1980)


“It is of course true that a law that impinges upon a fundamental right explicitly or implicitly secured by the Constitution is presumptively unconstitutional.”



Is Justice Roberts prepared to assert that Obamacare does not impinge upon the fundamental right of people being free to make their own choices and decisions regarding their health care needs? Is this not an inalienable right exercised by the people prior to the adoption of our existing Constitution and has never explicitly or implicitly been made subject to federal legislation by our Constitution, but is actually protected by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments against such tyranny?


And why do so many women who want the government out of their womb, embrace Obamacare which is intended to assume total control over their entire body? Do they not realize what they are embracing when they give thumbs up to Obamacare and Justice Roberts’ judicial tyranny?

[johnwk]

It’s absolutely astonishing how so many poster in this forum constantly brow beat right to life posters during the Terri Schiavo case and pointed to settle law which dictates that ___ acts of government which impinge upon fundamental rights are presumptively unconstitutional, and that Terri had a constitutional right to make her own medical and health care choices, without government intervention.

But now, this fundamental right is ignored and thumbs up are given to Roberts’ opinion even though he wrote in his opinion that the “shared responsibility payment” is “triggered” by not having federally approved health insurance. So when did the fundamental right of the people of the united States to make their own choices and decisions regarding their medical and health care needs change? Did it change at the same time Roberts imagined a new tax exists which is nowhere to be found in our Constitution?

What is most remarkable in this discussion is, the leadership of both political parties, our president, and the majority members on our Supreme Court don’t give two twits about enforcing our Constitution when it comes to Obamacare, nor do they care about our nation’s children being born as indentured slaves and saddled with the national debt Republicans and Democrats have created. Our folks in Washington have become masters in dividing and conquering the American People while using the force of government to plunder America’s federal treasury and stealing the incomes which America’s labor, businesses and investors have worked to produce.

It’s really sad to see how the American People have been defeated without a shot being fired.

America we have a problem! We have a group of DOMESTIC ENEMIES who have managed to gain political power and whose mission is in fact to bring “change” to America ___ the dismantling of our military defensive power; the allowance of our borders to be overrun by foreign invaders, the diluting of our election process by allowing ineligible persons to vote; the circumvention of our Republican Form of Government which is now replaced with a 12 member committee vested with power to make law; the destruction of our manufacturing capabilities; the transferring of America’s technology to hostile foreign nations; the strangulation of our agricultural industry and ability to produce food under the guise of environmental necessity; the destruction of our nation’s health care delivery system, the taking of private property for purposes other than “public use”; the interference with our ability to develop our natural resources, namely oil, coal and natural gas to fuel our economy; the looting of both our federal treasury and a mandatory retirement pension fund; the brainwashing of our nation’s children in government operated schools; the trashing of our nation’s traditions and moral values; the creation of an iron fisted control unauthorized by our written Constitution over America’s businesses and industries; the devaluation of our nation’s currency, and, the future enslavement of our children and grand children via unbridled debt and inflation, not to mention an iron fisted government which intends to rule their very lives!

Well, look at this. Supreme Court Justice Won’t Block HHS Mandate for Hobby Lobby



“After a federal court denied a request to temporarily stop enforcement of the abortion pill mandate against the Christian-operated business Hobby Lobby, it took its HHS mandate lawsuit to the Supreme Court. Late yesterday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied its request to block the mandate and the millions of dollars in fines it will be subjected to starting January 1 for not complying.”


Of course this ongoing attack on Christians and their religious freedoms by our federal government is no big surprise, especially when it comes from Obama’s hand picked henchwoman, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was all too happy to rule in favor of a Muslim prison inmate being denied Ramadan meals and now turns around and attacks Christians to help Obama in fundamentally transforming America.



When will the America People rise up and defend their country and punish public servants for using their office of public trust to constantly subvert and overrule the specific provisions and protections written into our Constitution?

Well, this is encouraging. At least there are some people left who have not rolled over and are still willing to fight and defy Obamacare, and fight our tyrannical Supreme Court’s ruling which was an irrefutable assault upon the defined and limited powers granted to Congress.

Following a decision by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor denying Hobby Lobby’s request for an exemption from the Obama administration’s HHS mandate, the Christian retail company said it will defy the mandate.

How many Tea Party Activists remember the Terri Schiavo case and when the Court declared that a government act “impinging” on a fundamental right is “presumptively unconstitutional” and went on to assert Terri exercised this fundamental right when allegedly making an end of life medical decision requiring the court to allow her to die?


Do Tea Party Activists not realize it is settled law that a legislative act which "impinges upon a fundamental right explicitly or implicitly secured by the Constitution is presumptively unconstitutional." Harris v. McRae United States Supreme Court (1980) Also see City of Mobile v. Bolden, 466 U.S. 55, 76, 100 S.Ct. 1490, 64 L.Ed.2d 47 (1980)

“It is of course true that a law that impinges upon a fundamental right explicitly or implicitly secured by the Constitution is presumptively unconstitutional.”

I cannot imagine an argument Justice Sotomayor could have dreamt up to deny Hobby Lobby a temporary and emergency requested injunction while it pursues its case, especially when Hobby Lobby is being forced to offer the morning after pill would which violates a fundamental religious belief and that any government actions which impinge upon a fundamental right is “presumptively unconstitutional “ according to settled law.

Let us not forget is was Justice Sonia Sotomayor who stepped in to protect a fundamental right of a Muslim being denied Ramadan meals in jail, and is now turning her back on Christians for their religious beliefs in denying the temporary injunction, perhaps hopping the fines of $ 1.3 million a day will either bankrupt the company or force them to turn upon their religious beliefs.

So, where is the outrage from Tea Party Activists? Where are the scheduled demonstrations across America giving support to Hobby Lobby? Why is it that the only demonstrations we see that confront dictatorial government power being exercised is in Egypt?

And what part of “presumptively unconstitutional” does Justice Roberts not understand when it comes to the federal government meddling in the people’s inalienable right to make their own choices and medical decisions as was recently stated by the Court in the Terry Schiavo case?


Do the people of America not know they have a right to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances”? Do they not know the have a written Constitution in which no power has been granted to Congress to enter their States and regulate their health care needs and choices? Why do the people of American roll over and submit themselves to legislative tyranny backed up by judicial tyranny? Why do they not look to have these Justices prosecuted for their seditious acts which are carried out under color of law?

Roberts found a legal loophole. Instead of calling it a penalty for those who refuse to buy insurance they will be paying taxes. I say potato you say potatoe.

Justice Roberts failed the American people and he failed the Constitution. What Roberts failed to take into account was Obamacare was sold to the American people as a "penalty", not a tax. Americans made decisions based on that information. Roberts should not have allowed the bait and switch that happened in court. When Obama's lawyers argued it was a tax, Roberts should have told them according to the President it's not a tax.

Company Gets Injunction Stopping HHS Mandate Enforcement

Well look what I found: Missouri House Votes to Nullify Obamacare in its Entirety


“On April 19, 2012, HB:1534 passed the Missouri House with a vote of 108 to 44! The bill “Declares the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as unauthorized by the United States Constitution and creates criminal penalties for persons enforcing or attempting to enforce the act”



We all know Obamacare is unconstitutional and federal employees who dare to enforce this act of tyranny well deserve to be immediately punished for aiding and abetting in an act of sedition.


I suspect there will be many out-of-state volunteers coming to Missouri’s aid if federal employees choose to side with Obama and not our Constitution which they took an oath to support and defend against both foreign and DOMESTIC ENEMIES.
