Response to 9/8/11 ObamaCare Ruling

Three Democrat appointed federal judges ruled today that Virginia and its citizens have no rights they can vindicate in federal court, recalling to mind the actions of British King George III, who “abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection” (Declaration of Independence). Their decision is at fundamental odds with legitimate, constitutional government.

While the Federal Fourth Circuit acknowledged that “Congress has imposed a potentially ‘harsh regime’ on some taxpayers,” which poses questions of “unusual legal, economic and political significance,” it still held that neither states such as Virginia, nor citizens may legally challenge the imposition of a congressional statute which Congress’ own Research Service concludes has no precedent in American history.*

The three federal judges appointed by Presidents Obama and Clinton claim that “a state has no interest in the rights of its individual citizens sufficient to justify such an invasion of federal sovereignty.” (Virginia v. Sebelius) Read more

Delegate Bob Marshall Files Amicus in Virginia vs. Sebelius

MANASSAS, VA – As a representative elected by the people of my district and as chief patron of the Health Care Freedom Act, I thought it my responsibility to demonstrate this Assembly’s strong support of the action taken by our Attorney General to defend the constitutional rights of each Virginia citizen to make their own choice of health care and healthy living, and not to be forced by the Leviathan in Washington D.C. to live the way some unelected bureaucrat would require us to live.

What did we say to the Court of Appeals that was not already said by the Attorney General?
The Attorney General’s basic argument was that Obamacare’s mandate that every American purchase a health insurance policy or plan approved by the bureaucrats was unconstitutional and, therefore, the entire Obamacare statute was unconstitutional. As you know in the district court the Attorney General won only the first argument — that the individual mandate was unconstitutional — leaving the rest of it in place.

Our strategy was different. We argued that Obamacare in its entirety was unconstitutional and for that reason the individual mandate was unconstitutional. If our point is upheld, then all of Obamacare — not just the individual mandate — is unconstitutional. Read more
