The constitutional problems with ObamaCare are numerous and well documented. However, the Supreme Court seems bent on twisting the law and facts to keep this abuse of our rights in place. First, the court effectively rewrote the law to shoehorn it into the taxing power of Congress. In the most recent case, the court refused to even hear the argument from over a dozen states. This is strike three for the court.
Let’s start with jurisdiction. Texas, joined by over a dozen other states and two individuals, brought suit against federal officials claiming that ObamaCare is no longer constitutional since its individual mandate has been reduced to $0. California, with 15 other states and the District of Columbia, intervened to defend the mandate. I will get into the constitutionality of ObamaCare shortly, but the one thing I want you to note is that the court’s decision, in this case, came out of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
U.S. Constitution, Article III, Section 2
Since several states are parties to this case, the Supreme Court should have had original jurisdiction, not a lower court. We are, however, so ignorant of the Constitution, I wonder how many Americans even noticed.
