Van's Commentary on the recent Virginia Obamacare ruling: The recent ruling from Virginia is actually GOOD news! It’s good news because it confirms what we have been saying for months: that current Supreme Court precedent is absurd and must be overturned. Let me explain: For those of you who hadn’t heard the news, on Wednesday a Virginia Federal judge issued a 54-page ruling in one of the many lawsuits challenging Obama care. His conclusion was that the individual mandate requiring all Americans to obtain health insurance coverage by 2014 is Constitutionally permissible. To understand why this is good news you must understand that the Virginia judge was simply following post 1942 Supreme Court precedent. That precedent is what our OCA lawsuit is attacking. Unlike all the other lawsuits against Obamacare, our lawsuit begins by acknowledging that under current precedent Congress has authority to pass Obamacare. The goal of our OCA lawsuit is to demonstrate that current precedent must be overturned because it does not reflect the clear meaning of the Constitution. We do this by pointing to the fact that Obamacare may be found Constitutional under current precedent. The Virginia court’s ruling proves this point for us. You see, by pointing to this ridiculous outcome, we demonstrate to the Supreme Court that its own past rulings are far outside the clear meaning of the Constitution. This is what we must show the Supreme Court if we are to convince it to reverse well-established precedent. So, we’ve been arguing all along that current precedent leaves ABSOLUTELY ZERO limitations on Congressional authority. Zero limitations on Congress is a ludicrous result of precedent when you understand that the Constitution was written for the specific purpose of limiting Congressional authority. So, how absurd are the results from this week’s ruling? This ruling essentially confirms that Congress can order any American to perform any act as long as Congress can make the argument that Americans NOT performing the act will negatively affect the national economy. This reasoning would allow Congress to order all Americans to buy a car, join a health club, eat certain food, take certain vitamins, etc… Understand what I’m saying, Congress has no limitations on its authority under this ruling. This ruling essentially makes every American a slave to the whims of Congress. This is exactly what our Constitution was intended to prevent. The Virginia court’s ruling PROVES the need to reverse current Supreme Court precedent. That is the mission of Liberty Legal Foundation and our Obamacare Class Action is the means to do it.
