The Lawsuit to End Obamacare

The Lawsuit to End Obamacare

By Elizabeth

Did you hear, theres a
lawsuit before the Supreme Court that could bring bring an end to Obamas
signature healthcare law, and it would be the Democrats fault. Why, just the Demo-wits you ask, because none of the Republicans voted for it.The
Constitution specifically says revenue-raising bills must originate in theHouse, and since the bill that became what
we now know as Obamacare was written in theSenate,HouseRepublicans say thats a problem.

Led byRep. Trent Franksof Arizona, 40 members of
theHousehave signed onto a lawsuit challenging the
Affordable Care Act on the grounds that it violates the Origination Clause
because it failed to originate in the correct house ofCongress.

The lawsuit, filed by thePacific Legal
Foundation in Sacramento, Calif., is now before theU.S. Court of Appealsfor the District of Columbia. A
federal judge sided in June with theObama
administrations defense of the sweeping health-insurance law.

“Given that an Origination
Clause challenge against a taxing bill of this magnitude has never before been
mounted, it is imperative thatthis
Courtnot sanction thelower courts superficial analysis of
the Origination Clause,” saidtheHouseRepublicans
“friend-of-the-court” brief filed Nov. 8.
The Obama administration may
be alarmed over the dismal number of people signing up for Obamacare, the
rising health-care costs for Americans, the legal challenges to the religious
discrimination embedded in the law and other problems.But all of that would be of no
consequence if a lawsuit in federal court in Washington succeeds. It alleges
senators overstepped their authority in creating the Affordable Care Act and
the law, therefore, is null and void.The case argues that since the
U.S. Constitution requires that revenue-raising measures originate in the U.S.
House and Obamacare was created in the Senate, the law is unconstitutional. The
case is headed toward the Supreme Court.
Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid, D-Nev., who has been leading the Obamacare charge since its inception,
took a House-passed bill, deleted its contents and then substituted the
Senates 2,000-page bill. Read more at WND

Now, some may
just “dismiss” this and figure it “will fail,” but if Hobby Lobby had not kept
on keeping on, and had decided to keep the stone in the sling and not thrown
the rock at their Obamacare Giant, theywouldn'thave finally slayed him. They won their lawsuit
and are now not required to pay for contraceptives that they feel are abortifacients.
