White House Not Happy With Fed Appeals Court ObamaCare Ruling…

Comrade Obamao is upset. Good.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is expressing confidence that it’s constitutional to require people to have health insurance and believes that President Barack Obama’s health care law will be survive all legal challenges in the end.

Obama adviser Stephanie Cutter says the White House strongly disagrees with an appeals court ruling Friday that struck down the insurance requirement at the center of a law.

She says the White House is confident that ruling will not stand.

Cutter notes on the White House blog that four other courts, including a different appeals court, has upheld the law.

    This comes as no surprise. Since when did this administration follow the law.

  2. Madame DeFarge says:

    Strike down the mandatory requirement and it’s all over for Obamacare. Let’s pray the Supremes agree.

    Who gives a ratsass whether the WH is happy.

  4. Pelerin says:

    No way. This entire law is so blatantly unconstitutional that even fatty Kagan would have to vote against it.

    Also since there is no severability clause in the law, if the individual mandate goes down so does the whole damned thing.

    But don’t you worry, Barry. Go to Martha’s Vineyard, kick back, have a couple of tokes and relax.

    Today, a different court ruled against the Affordable Care Act’s individual responsibility provision. We strongly disagree with this decision and we are confident it will not stand.

    Sounds just like their aversion the debt crisis…

    :-) I see this as a personal failure of Barack Obama AND a reFudiation of the Progressive ideology.

  7. The Original says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:33 pm

    Kagan better recuse herself. She should not have a vote with her job in the Obama WH. I think Roberts is smart enough to “encourage” recusal.

  8. Madame DeFarge says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:33 pm

    One day we’ll look back on these four years as the era of “I survived Obama”. And survive it we will. I look forward to 2013 and his long life in retirement to a life of obscurity. The unkindest cut of all for a narcissist of his magnitude.

  9. greenlantern2011 says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:35 pm

    Wow. There is no shortage of those grim, angry faces from Obama lately. Watched his speech in MI yesterday with the sound off. No doubt this guy is feeling the walls close in on him.

  10. MADgirl91 says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:36 pm

    No one is confident in White House confidence anymore.

  11. Madame DeFarge says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:37 pm

    @The Original…how about Roberts “demand” recusal? She would vote with Obama’s plan no matter how unconstitutional it is. She’s a Communist for heavensake.

  12. Stephana says:

    Little whiney barry, the constitutional scholar who knows nothing of the constitution is going to cry! What a chump. Change the Dope 2012.

  13. gastorgrab says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:44 pm

    So what then has ‘Hope and Change’ accomplished?

    Has this entire administration been a absurd, and incredibly expensive, folly?

  14. CapnAngus says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:50 pm

    Obama will issue a more harshly worded statement to the Supreme Court than he did to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad earlier this week…

  15. ThomNJ says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:51 pm

    Hey Barry, enjoy your vacation….hope you have lots of time on your hands to worry!

    Buh bye, legacy.

    He’ll probably issue an “Executive order” to try to circumvent all this. Sweet. He is going to be busy and tied up with this for a while – and that is a good thing for us.

  16. ThomNJ says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:51 pm

    Yes, gastorgrab – it most certainly has.

  17. CapnAngus says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:52 pm

    @ gastor
    –”Has this entire administration been a absurd, and incredibly expensive, folly?”–

    No they have made us a HELL of a lot weaker than we were on Jan 21st 2009

  18. CapnAngus says:
    August 12, 2011 at 3:54 pm

    Agreed with posters above. Kagan must recuse herself, if she doesn’t Roberts must petition for her to do so…

    “when the hell are they going to declare HIM unconstitutional !”

    when a million AMERICANS descend on Washington and slaughter the beltway politicians…

    what.. that is the only way.. and the Declaration says it’s our natural right to do so..

  22. Sickofobama says:
    August 12, 2011 at 4:03 pm

    Hope the good Supremes are wearing armored vests wherever they go.

    Obama and his goon squad would be willing to get rid of one of them so in order for Obama to pick up another Commie for the Court.

    “Cutter notes on the White House blog that four other courts, including a different appeals court, has upheld the law.”

    ————

    There’s that ‘consensus’ thing again.

    Attention Liberals! A law with no severability clause only has to be unconstitutional for one reason, to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL. ‘Mostly legal’ doesn’t cut it.

    A law has to withstand ALL constitutional challenges brought before the Supreme Court, in order to remain a law.

    Laws that “only violate the rights of a few”, can not stand! Our system was founded for the protection of the individual rights of everyone. The ‘Tyranny of the Majority’ is not allowed in a Constitutional Republic.

    The administration should be hoping that SCOTUS does strike it down. If they do not rule against it the feces is gonna hit the fan in a big way.

  25. kansas says:
    August 12, 2011 at 4:27 pm

    This administration will simply ignore any court ruling they don’t like.

    Coming Monday, more rules, guidelines, and regulations. I bet you thought when Obama said he was pivoting to focus on jobs, you thought he meant somehow he was going to help grow jobs. No, he meant he is focusing on your job. He wants it for his peeps.

  28. A Beer & Bump says:
    August 12, 2011 at 4:36 pm

    Wow I woulda figgered a commie lefty apointed judge would have seen this case. I wonder if Obama has any political muscle left to overturn
    the ruling?

  29. gastorgrab says:
    August 12, 2011 at 4:47 pm

    The Obama administration has 90 days to appeal to either the 11th circuit, or to the Supreme Court.

    What will happen is that the administration will attempt to drag this out as long as possible. The will run out the clock, and then appeal to the 11th circuit.

    Otherwise, Obama will lose a talking point for his reelection bid. As long as he can prop it up with coat hangers and duct tape, the longer he will say that “I created the first National Health Care system in the United States.” They will harass, they will bully, they will intimidate for the sole purpose of getting Obama reelected.

    The message will become; ‘Preserve national health care by preserving Obama’.

    Madatory Health Care is AGAINST my religion. So right there it is unconstitutional. And by the way, the islam moslims already said that and they are exempt! So what does the communist moslim gay USURPER have to say about that? Someone NEEDS to bring that up in court!!!

    Go take a running leap in the ocean from your bazillion dollar vacation mansion, Chester because your reign of economic terror is almost at an end.

    You will have to deal with all of the American people pretty soon. That’s you and Mooch.

    King Putt needs to make another speech, stick out his pouty lip, whine, and blame everybody but himself. That 51 percent disapproval needs a 2 or 3 point boost.

    I pray barry finds a Kennedy at Martha’s Vineyard to show him around and go for a drive.

    Whatever makes that SOB miserable, I’m all for it.

    Americans only need one response to unconstitutional acts by this government:

    Make Me, go ahead, what are you gonna do about it?? Put 150 million people in
    prison? Drop dead.

  37. Andy says:
    August 12, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    they should launch an investigation into the judge like they did S&P. What good are the courts if you can’t bully them?

  38. Phillip says:
    August 12, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    This involves an attempt to dodge another financial burden. If the government does not dodge those financial burdens they might not be able to pay those supreme court saleries, so on, so forth,etc.

    Federal Judge Throws Out Obama Drilling Rules

    CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A judge on Friday threw out Obama administration rules that sought to slow down expedited environmental review of oil and gas drilling on federal land.

    U.S. District Judge Nancy Freudenthal ruled in favor of a petroleum industry group, the Western Energy Alliance, in its lawsuit against the federal government, including Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

    Obama is just spinning wheels he is attempting to re-invent.
    Fortunately each new dawn brings us closer to when we can all vote “That One” out of office and end his reign of unforgivable stupidity.

  43. a human says:

    Since Obama has violated his oath of office, in several instances, it’s no surprise that he believes it’s perfectly acceptable that his legislation can violate the constitution as well. Have to wonder if the Supreme Court will agree with him or not.
