Pa. federal judge rules against insurance mandate By Chris Mondics INQUIRER STAFF WRITER philly.com President Obama's plan to require individual Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty exceeds the powers granted both the president and Congress by the Constitution, a federal district court judge ruled Tuesday in Harrisburg Federal District Judge Christopher C. Conner said the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce does not give it the power to compel individual citizens to purchase products against their will. "The nation undoubtedly faces a health-care crisis," Conner said. "Scores of individuals are uninsured and the costs to all citizens are measurable and significant. “The federal government, however, is one of limited enumerated powers,” Conner continued, “and Congress' efforts to remedy the ailing health care and health insurance markets must fit squarely within the boundaries of those powers." The lawsuit was brought by a married couple in York County who sued Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who is overseeing the health-care plan, to overturn the law. The couple, Barbara Goudy-Bachman and her husband, Gregory Bachman, said they had dropped their own health coverage because it exceeded the cost of their mortgage payments. They said they preferred to pay for their health care out of pocket. However, Conner rejected an argument by the couple that the mandate is "disastrous to this nation's future, such as the Bachmans' prediction of America evolving into a socialist state. These suggestions of cataclysmic results ... are both unproductive and unpersuasive." While most of the massive law can remain intact, Conner said, certain provisions are linked to the health insurance requirement and must also be struck down. Those provisions are designed to guarantee that insurance companies cannot discriminate against or deny coverage to the sick or people with pre-existing conditions. Their complaint is one of 30 different lawsuits in various federal jurisdictions around the country challenging Obama's health-care plan, which became law in 2010. Separate lawsuits have already reached appeals courts in Richmond, Va., Atlanta and Cincinnati. The Supreme Court is expected to eventually take up the issue.

You are hilarious. You don't know Turner from a can of paint. The Jewish vote finally came to their senses after Obama's relentless hostilities toward Israel. Now Obama will lose more Jewish voters and independents as well. The Fast and Furious scandal is coming after Obama, Hillary and their precious smug, smirking Holder. The Solyndra Loan will destroy him. They were warned about Solyndra and rushed out the check anyway.

David Weprin Served Papers on Street As Turner Challenges Election Results Before It’s Over By Foster Kamer 9/13 6:37pm Does Bob Turner know something the rest of us don’t? Because according to WNYC’s The Empire blog, he just had David Weprin served with papers, challenging the election results, in the middle of the street, before the election is even over. In other news, the NY-09 Special Election just went from moderately crazy to completely insane. The papers are reportedly challenging fraudulent absentee ballots. Meanwhile, the serious charge of phone-jamming has yet to be acted upon by the Weprin campaign, in case anyone’s keeping score on that front.

They tried the usual Democrat ballot fraud and still failed. TG

RINO??? Doesn't sound like one from this article. Turner Victory in New York Shows Conservative Message Resonates with Democrats, Independents WASHINGTON, Sept. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Independent Women's Voice (IWV) "The victory in New York demonstrates that Americans of all political affiliations increasingly recognize that the big government policies advanced by this Administration and Democrats in Congress are damaging the economy and weakening our country," said IWV CEO Heather R. Higgins. "Rep. Turner will join the ranks of those committed to ending government's assault on private business, repealing ObamaCare, and cutting the wasteful spending that is burying our country in debt. He'll represent New York well, and we're pleased to have been able to play a part in his victory." In this overwhelmingly Democratic district – registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by almost 3-to-1 – Independent Women's Voice ran a sophisticated phone operation to identify Democrats and Independents who were open to persuasion, then followed up with targeted messages to them, including calls touting former Democratic Mayor Ed Koch's endorsement of Turner, and a call from Democratic Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who crossed party lines to endorse Turner last week. prnewswire.com

So what? That's one more vote for the Republicans. And, one more vote for Israel Yes, Obama has thrown Israel under the bus. Just keep those Weiner displays coming--------how many more Democrats will be taken down via their public displays and dalliances.
