Midknight Review -- new and revised: Has the High Court given us a hint as to its decision on ObamaCare?

Original Commenty

There are four issues being considered by the High Court, with hearings set for March of next years. Two of those concerns include the ideas of the individual mandate and the concept of "severability."

The individual mandate, should it be confirmed, means that the Federal Government can order its people to buy or do anything. When Obama spoke of "fundamentally transforming the United States of America," he was talking about this very issue, the individual mandate. States Rights as expressed in the 10th Amendment will be finally and completely destroyed. Centralized, European style big government will have won the day. The individual will, officially, become a piece of meat to be ordered about at the will of those who rule over us.

Severability is the concept that one aspect of ObamaCare can function separately from another, especially as relates to the several parts of that law and the individual mandate. If the mandate is struck down, the question of severability becomes critical to those who want to continue this law. Here is the interesting part of this post: if the mandate is confirmed, there is no issue as to the issue of the law's severability.

With that in mind, has the High court given us a hint as to its intentions? It could have decided to consider the individual mandate, only. In fact, I am surprised that its March consideration will involve more than a single issue. We all know that the Supreme Court is given to making a single decision that raises more questions than it solves. But, in this case, the entire issue of the law's continuance is about to heard by this court.

If the mandate is confirmed, well, that is the end of the matter. There would be no point in considering "severability." But, if the mandate is denied, the Court's decision on "severability" becomes a critical concern.

A prediction of things to come? Has the High Court put forth the serious possibility that it will decide against the mandate? Very possibly. Too bad I can't copyright an idea. I do think I am the first with this observation.

Another great reason for returning to Midknight Review? Ooooooh, you betcha !!

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
