Under Attack

CommieTommie Harkin is creating controversy concerning Obamacare before the United States Supreme Court.

U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin: Justice John Roberts’ history raises questions about politicization of health-care case

Harkin is the one politicizing this by attacking the court to lay the groundwork so that if the law does get struck down, they can dismiss it as a purely political decision by a radical right-wing Court.

That is so obvious, and the scientific community is united in that fact, because Harkin doesn't mention Justice Elena Kagan.

As Solicitor General, Kagen's office was developing a strategy to defend Obamacare legally, yet Fiberals don't have a problem with her not recusing herself.

Harkin is less than truthful when he strongly defended its constitutionality: “Judges in the lower courts … have made it very clear that arguments against the act lack merit. They have no basis in law,” he said. “To overturn this health reform bill would overturn 70 years of precedents.

The 11^th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, with Clinton-appointed Judge Frank Hull co-authoring the majority opinion, struck down the national health care law’s individual mandate.

It struck down the mandate within the context of current Supreme Court precedent. In other words, it provides a clear path for Supreme Court justices to rule the mandate unconstitutional without having to revisit prior decisions. The mandate, as the 11^th Circuit says, is “unprecedented.”
