Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Speak up Illinois on the budget, don’t count on Obama care just yet! Like sharks swarming a bleeding animal or person in the ocean waiting to make the kill, so, too, is the national army of lawyers preparing unknown countless briefs just waiting to be filed to have the Supreme Court overturn the new healthcare law long before implementation of begins in four long years. Assuming the present court will hear the appeal to overturn, one thought is it will be overturned simply on the basis of the “instrumentality†or “substantial affect†as contained in the US Constitution under the Commerce clause. Another thought is it will be overturned on the basis of the 10th Amendment and violations of protections from federalism. The groundwork for this strategy was laid when the 30+ states passed some form of their own Obama plan. A separate thought still using again the 10th Amendment says the law will never see the light of day as it lacks capacity of “strict scrutiny†as required. My personal favorite is others may personally file under the 8th Amendment as it singles out with cruel and unusual punishment for all folks making over $250K annually. Most if not all here left out again! Senator McCain has announced exploration of introducing a bill to repeal the just passed healthcare reform. So who cares, now – its done. At the end of the day, our energy has to be focused on the Illinois Budget process. Someone has already asked when the I TEAM is planning a lobby day to storm Springfield with our adult children with us. I TEAM just went live what 5 hours ago! But that is as Ellen has shared a mission critical part of the I Team. The point is we do not have to go to Springfield daily if we have built a relationship with our local legislators when they are at home! Emails and phone calls are just as impactful too. They work for us. Check the I Team site for suggested talking points.
