Constitution: Static or Living and in it means?

[jim hardy]

i do apologize for the distraction. I am aware that my stong feelings are perhaps a bit beyond the norm so won't rant further.

I like this idea.

Or, they could do the more sensible thing - strike down the entire law, detailing the rationale for their decision, and letting Congress do the editing (which definitely won't be happening this election year).

reason - i read that, what was it, 2200 page bill . At least one version of it. The entire last 400 pages were all about Indian affairs and i thought it was a hastily thrown together mess. I wrote my congress lady advising her it reeked of haste and chaos and special interest pandering. She voted "for" anyway and was not re-elected.

And i like this idea

To change the system, the employer-only tax break has to be either eliminated or extended to everyone independent of the employer. Agreed?

though i would go further and get "for profit" insurance out of the system.
I have alienated some of my ultra conservative friends by favoring a public option to that end.
If you watch that Frontline show you'll see that Obamacare was written by an executive of Connecticut General Insurance company and a pharmaceutical industry organization lobbyist who extracted from Obama the promise of "No Public Option" before supporting his campaign. The show interviews the principals of both outfits.

I've made enough chaos here. End of rant-backup.

I will however write to Justice Kennedy and express my feelings. Calmly.

Or, there's still the possibility the SCOTUS could uphold the ACA.

I will express to Justice Kennedy my belief the mandate would be handing private industry the de facto power to levy taxes, a power reserved to congress and the states..
