In a reminder of U.S. Senator Kent Conrad’s (D-ND) partisan support for President Barack Obama’s massive health spending bill, a federal judge today ruled that the “individual mandate,” a key provision of the costly, unpopular overhaul, is unconstitutional.

There is also some concern about how to digest the sheer volume of paperwork.” “As support for Kent Conrad’s costly health care overhaul hits a new low, today’s federal court decision…

Sherrod Brown Stands To Left Of Obama, Joins Socialist Colleague To Vote For Massive Tax Hike
Standing with avowed socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and to the left of President Barack Obama, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) voted to slam Ohio’s families and job creators with a massive tax hike as they suffer from 9.9 percent unemployment in the wake of his failed $787 billion stimulus debacle. Democrats promised during the 2010 elections to slam American families and small businesses with a massive job-killing tax hike as they struggle with nearly 10 percent unemployment. But with only 18 days until the Republican-backed tax relief is set to expire, President Obama and a majority of Democrat Senators finally yielded to voters’ demands and supported a compromise that would maintain current tax rates, which was passed in the Senate this afternoon. Meanwhile, extremists like Brown and avowed socialist Sanders sided with outgoing U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and voted against cloture on the bipartisan compromise while…

Federal Judge Joins 667,000 Missourians In Rejecting McCaskill-Backed ObamaCare
Less than four months after a staggering 71 percent of Missouri voters voiced their opposition to the massive federal health spending bill backed by U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), a federal judge today declared the law unconstitutional. “Today’s federal court decision serves as yet another reminder that Senator McCaskill has consistently ignored the views and values of Missouri families, while serving as a loyal rubberstamp for President Obama’s out-of-touch agenda,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokeswoman Amber Marchand. As with Missouri’s Proposition C, which was supported overwhelmingly by Missouri voters in August 2010, today’s court decision focused on the ObamaCare provision that requires citizens to carry health insurance by 2014 or pay a fine to the federal government. Notably, when asked to assess the impact of Proposition C vote earlier this year, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs glibly replied, “Nothing.” However, that assessment was deemed overwhelmingly incorrect when voters…
