Since the President and the Democrats kicked off the healthcare debate in early 2009 the political left and the establishment media have sneered dismissively at those of us who insisted the Constitution did not authorize Congress or the Executive to assume the new powers in ObamaCare. We won’t know for sure until June, but based [...]

From the very beginning, the ObamaCare arguments before the Supreme Court were a lesson in the folly of ignoring the wisdom of our Constitution, a charter for a government with just a few, limited, enumerated powers.  Solicitor General Verrilli, whose unenviable assignment was to defend ObamaCare opened things up: “The Affordable Care Act addresses a [...]

Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the Constitutionality of the ObamaCare individual mandate.  It’s almost impossible to exaggerate the significance of this case to the future of liberty in America.

The health care debate begins again with legislation to repeal ObamaCare.  This Debate will not be settled until politicians from both parties confront the truth. What if a bunch of politicians tried to make themselves look extraordinarily clever and more compassionate than the rest of us by claiming that health care was “a right” and [...]

Republicans would be doing the nation a disservice if they did not attempt an early repeal of ObamaCare. In a recent press conference President Obama snorted: “We’d be misreading the election if we thought the American people want to see us for the next two years relitigate arguments that we had over the last two [...]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, citing lack of votes, has killed the 1,924 page Omnibus spending bill he had introduced last week. In a Wall Street Journal editorial Kimberley Strassel provides a dramatic narrative of the events leading up to the defeat of the Democrats’ $1.1 trillion, Omnibus spending bill, including some 6,000 earmarks.

Back in March, right after President Obama signed the the 2,700 page beast affectionately known as ObamaCare into law, a group of State Attorney’s General, led by Florida AG Bill McCollum filed a law suit in Federal C0urt seeking to have the act declared Unconstitutional.  The Obama Administration responded by filing a motion with the [...]
