I don’t know the answer to that question but I hope so. I would have thought that some organization would have come out by now, perhaps they are waiting until after the bill is finalized before they say anything. This bill is sure to pass and the only way to sto pit will be to challenge its constitutionality. I have posted several articles about politicians who have been asked to state where in the constitution they are given the right to mandate healthcare coverage and the answers have been anywhere from non-answers to the “general welfare” clause. Nobody who is willing to force Americans to buy healthare coverage can show us where they get that authority.
Challenging the constitutionality of healthcare reform will be our only chance to stop it, I hope that someone steps up to the plate.

Have a question for you, Mr Pink Eyes (and anyone else who cares to offer an opinion):

Do you think that if the health care legislation passes the Senate, gets reconciled w/ the House, and sign by the prez, there will be someone or some organization willing to go to federal court and/or possibly the Supreme Court to challenge the Constitutionality of this “reform”? As I’ve said before, I’ve been screaming at the TV and internet for a long time now that there is no Constitutional authority for Congress to do this, and yet you hear very little about it, except in conservative forums/blogs like this.

I haven’t heard anything from the likes of the Heritage Foundation, et al, over a legal challenge in the works should this abomination pass and get signed.

Thoughts?

This Chicago gangster crowd is really twisting arms, making threats and giving bribes to get things done their way. What a great bunch we have in charge. Yes the bill could pass, but I still have to hold our hope.

I agree, it is disappointing and disheartening. I don’t think that we can stop this, hopefully the senate will at least be able to tone it down a little, but I don’t have much faith in that either.

I have been hopeful that this bill will be prevented from passing, but I am beginning to wonder if it can be stopped. It seems they are bound and determined to pass it, no matter what we the people say or think about it.
