Obama & Healthcare - Page 30

The only way I can think of all the senators and representatives getting together is if the American people had a special election where the American people passed legislation that the 535 welfare recipients in Washington DC were forced to be on Medicare and the national health care policy that the American people were to be on.

Yeah, would be great if there were a way to do this in the Constitution. Sadly, there is no way for us to hold a special election and pass legislation. That is reserved for those 535 welfare recipients to which you allude.

If I remember correctly there is a way to do it. I will have to once again look into it but if a vast majority of the people agree to it they can force congress to pass legislation to the peoples whim. It is a vote by the masses to show support to it that supercedes congress somehow.

KN,

You'd have to show me that one. I don't remember seeing that anywhere. There is a portion about instituting a Constitutional Convention, but that has to do with states voting for one… not the people. And even then, once it's started it takes states to vote to get things added… not the people. Now, there are scholars who think there are ways for the people to do this, but I truly doubt it would get past the Supreme Court since it is not exclusively written out whereby the Article V ways to alter the Constitution are written down.

Federal judge rules that the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate is unconstitutional, imperiling President Barack Obama’s signature legislative achievement. U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor, a George W. Bush appointee in Texas, declared the individual mandate portion of the law unconstitutional and, therefore, the remaining provisions of the law are "Inseverable" and "Invalid". The decision, which threatens millions of Americans' health care coverage, will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ref. USAToday.

Appeals court strikes down major part of Obamacare, jeopardizing health insurance coverage for millions. A 2-1 ruling against the Affordable Care Act's mandate that people buy insurance, rendered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, represents the latest action in a string of legal challenges that have imperiled former President Barack Obama's signature domestic policy achievement since its enactment in 2010.

Supreme Court agrees to hear case about fate of Affordable Care Act for the third time since its passage a decade ago. Acting at the behest of Democrats in Congress and 20 states led by California, the high court will review a federal appeals court's ruling that the law's central health insurance mandate is unconstitutional. In January, the justices had refused to hear the new case on an expedited basis, eliminating any chance they would hear and decide it during this year's presidential campaign. It is more likely to be scheduled for oral argument in the fall and a decision in 2021. Ref. USAToday.

How many times will they hear the same case? This must be a new precedent in the affairs of America.
