UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Bill Nelson’s ObamaCare Mandate

In 2009 Bill Nelson voted for President Barack Obama’s government-run healthcare bill that raised taxes by $500 billion, cut $500 billion from Medicare and forced every American to purchase health insurance. Fortunately the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals – which was comprised of two judges who were nominated by President Bill Clinton and one judge who was nominated by President George H.W. Bush – ruled that the health care reform law’s requirement that nearly all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional. As the Washington Examiner reports: “A federal appeals court has ruled that the national health care law’s individual mandate is unconstitutional, calling it “an unprecedented exercise of congressional power.” The 11th Circuit, which was hearing the case brought by 26 states led by Florida and the National Federation of Independent Business concluded: that the individual mandate contained in the Act exceeds Congress’s enumerated commerce power.” “Despite his continued attempts to…

UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Kaine’s ObamaCare Mandate

As he cheered for his fellow Washington Democrats to ram ObamaCare into law, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine showed his strong support for President Barack Obama’s onerous individual mandate. Last year, when a federal court in Virginia ruled the mandate unconstitutional, Kaine “argued that the law does not violate the federal government’s authority to regulate interstate commerce because health decisions have real world consequences” – indicating that he apparently only respects the U.S. Constitution when the matter in question is devoid of “real world consequences.” But today, a federal appeals court issued the latest in a series of rulings against Kaine and Obama’s individual mandate.  As The Hill newspaper reports: A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the individual coverage mandate in healthcare reform is unconstitutional… The ruling from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals comes in the highest-profile challenge to the new law’s requirement that most people buy insurance….

After Supporting $500 Billion In Medicare Cuts, Manchin “Promises Medicare… Will Not Be Cut”

Voted To Keep ObamaCare’s $500 Billion In Medicare Cuts As Governor, Democrat Joe Manchin lent his voice in support of his friend President Barack Obama’s massive health care overhaul.  As U.S. Senator, Manchin voted against repealing ObamaCare, and in favor of keeping its $500 billion in Medicare cuts as the law of the land. But as WBOY reports, as he prepares for a tough reelection bid, “Manchin assured constituents that Congress will not make any cuts to social security or medicare [sic].” “Joe Manchin already voted to cut Medicare by $500 billion in Washington, so it’s wrong of him to pretend that never happened and make promises against cutting Medicare in West Virginia,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond.  “Once again, Manchin is saying one thing in West Virginia and doing the opposite in Washington.”

UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Federal Appeals Court Rules Against McCaskill’s ObamaCare Mandate

As she gave President Obama the crucial 60th vote to ram ObamaCare into law, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) not only supported ObamaCare’s onerous individual mandate, she even went so far as to call those who oppose the mandate “dumb.” Last year, McCaskill’s liberal voting record and mean-spirited rhetoric came back to haunt her when 71 percent of Missouri voters rejected her mandate at the polls.  And just months ago, Missouri’s Democrat Attorney General Chris Koster broke with McCaskill, and urged a federal judge to invalidate the ObamaCare mandate. As recently as yesterday, McCaskill attempted to defend her unpopular mandate, even arguing to KCMO’s Greg Knapp that it’s more acceptable for Congress to force Americans to buy a good or service than to allow Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines. But today, a federal appeals court issued the latest ruling against McCaskill and Obama’s individual mandate.  As the…
