In the New York Times, we have this news story that gives patriot Constitutionalists a sense of hope: Health Law faces threat of undercut from Courts. Judge Henry E. Hudson of the Federal District Court in Richmond, Virginia, has promised a decision on the constitutionality of the law's requirement that all Americans purchase health care insurance by the end of this year -- 5 weeks from now.
The article details the notion that the line of questioning asked by the judge indicates a negative attitude on his part as to the constitutionality of the law. The issue that seems to be most damaging to the survival of the law is the requirement that Americans buy a product they do not want to purchase. The Obama Administration pretends to believe that this is constitutional. Understand that if the law is allowed to stand, it will mark the end of the 10th amendment and the Founder's belief in the states' right to govern [this is called "federalism"] will have been given a death blow.
Nearly all analysts believe that regardless of the District Court's decision, the matter will move on, eventually landing at the doorsteps of the Supreme Court. We could have a decision from the High Court by the end of 2012.
A year ago, the Administration laughed at the notion that the law would be overturned in court. It does not appear that they are quite so humored by the possibility, now. Popularity against the law continues to be high and the belief that the Administration has sold us a pack of goods is increasing.
Things are not looking up for the Administration.
