Op-ed:
ObamaCare...null and void 
By: Diane Sori


I love Chief Justice John Roberts!
 
The man that everyone has been criticizing, denigrating, and made into a political foible since the ObamaCare decision was handed down, has in reality saved our country by ruling this monstrosity to be a TAX.  

The word ‘TAX’ has been sticking in my mind ever since the ruling was announced, and the fact that Chief Justice Roberts kept reiterating it over and over again led me to believe that he was trying, albeit in a very covert way, to lead us to the answer of how to get ObamaCare repealed or better yet, rendered null and void.  We just had to listen very carefully to what he said and then digest his words very slowly.

And I did just that.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the US Constitution says, “The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.”

Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution says, “All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives...”

And here in the very words of our US Constitution is the two-fold punch that just might be our answer to repealing or negating ObamaCare in full. 

Punch One...First, a little lesson on the nature of bills as this is key to overturning ObamaCare.  Bills originate mostly from individual members of Congress.  Bills can be brought to a House member by a constituent; or a bill can be submitted to a member of Congress by one or more state legislatures; or the President or his administration might suggest a bill themselves, as was the case with ObamaCare.

No matter how it’s brought to the attention of a House member, it must be submitted for consideration by that member. In the House, Representatives drop a copy of a bill into a bin specifically placed to receive new bills.  In the Senate, the bill is given to a clerk at the President's desk.

Bills can be introduced in either house but a bill must eventually pass both houses to become law.  The exception to this is that BILLS FOR RAISING REVENUE MUST ORIGINATE IN THE HOUSE AND NEVER, I REPEAT NEVER IN THE SENATE!

Bingo!!!  Bills for raising revenue MUST originate in the House and NEVER in the Senate.  I cannot stress the importance of those words enough because ObamaCare is indeed a bill that raises revenue.  Let me explain...with there being a penalty clause in ObamaCare that says if you don’t have health insurance you WILL be fined, and because any fine raised from a law comes under the heading of revenue, that automatically should negate ObamaCare because this revenue generating bill was initiated in the Senate and NOT in the House where it should have been as per our Constitution.*

Second, Mr. Supposed Constitutional lawyer himself, Barack Hussein Obama, knew damn well that his precious ObamaCare was indeed a tax to raise revenue and he knew it from the get-go even while claiming it was not.  He knew it and yet he still tried to pull one off on ‘We the People’ by saying it wasn’t a TAX so he could introduce it in the Senate knowing he had a Democratic majority there.  And he also tried to mask the intent to raise revenue by using the word ‘mandate’ instead of the words, ‘revenue-generating TAX.’

But Chief Justice Roberts caught him and by doing so he was able to rip the mask off the individual mandate clause and show us all, including the members of Congress, that ObamaCare was indeed a TAX that raised revenue by bringing to the forefront the penalty clause and making such an issue of it. 

Third, we all know that Obama presented ObamaCare not as a TAX as it should have been but with a mandate clause instead, because he knew it never would have passed the Senate or the House if he had. But it is, was, and always has been a tax according to the SCOTUS ruling.  So with that being the case, ObamaCare was actually presented to Congress for vote under knowingly false pretenses, and since it was presented under knowingly false pretenses that should again automatically negate it as null and void.

Punch Two...In doing what he did by presenting to Congress ObamaCare as something that it was not along with initiating it in a place where it should never have been initiated, Barack Hussein Obama once again deliberately and with malice trampled on our Constitution as he tried again to radically lead our country down the path to socialized medicine.

Well, Chief Justice Roberts caught him and now it’s up to both Congress and ‘We the People’ to right this horrible wrong.  Congress must take immediate action to rule ObamaCare null and void as it was submitted outside of Congressional procedure due to the fact that this bill was submitted and passed in a strictly partisan vote in a so-called emergency Congressional middle of the night session in addition to its being proposed on a false premise, then Barack Hussein Obama must be held in contempt of Congress for knowingly and willfully lying and misleading the House and Senate with his intentions; and finally come November 6th ‘We the People’ must vote this miserable, lying, Constitution trampling, excuse of a president out of office.

The United States of America, the country we all so love and hold dear is depending on us for her survival and we cannot let her down.

*********************************************************

* For those who have any doubts about the premiss of my Op-ed, please remember that all revenue generating bills MUST originate in the House only as per the Constitution. A 'NEW' bill was introduced in the Senate and NOT the House as Harry Reid had radically altered and changed the actual ORIGINAL House bill, thus the one he presented for passage in the Senate was NOT the one the House had passed. Instead of his NEW bill going back to the House first for approval it went straight to the Senate and as a totally different NEW bill it should NEVER have been introduced for passage in the Senate.

A lot of ppl we seeing and understanding this the day of release but more ppl don't understand it at all, great explanation, go viral, it may be the only thing that will make some cooler heads prevail now, to many ppl are flying the flag inverted and its very urgent that we calm these ppl down and show them the solver lining in this!

    2. I wouldn't say too many people are flying the flag upside down,...actually not enough people are and it should have been started many years ago. I know of a patriot or two who have been doing just that for many years. Our freedoms have been under attack and trampled on for several generations now. Obama Care is just the latest of them.

    2. Exactly! ObamaCare is a combination of socialist/communist rhetoric and is an insult to the medical oath of, 'thou shalt do no harm.'

  5. I wonder what they'll actually do? From what I'm reading, our Country is pretty much divided straight down the middle and both sides are ready to war over this new set of 21 taxes..... It will be interesting to watch it play out...

  6. So, it is an unconstitutional law with unconstitutional beginnings and unconstitutional ends from an unconstitutional president, to an unconstitutional body of congress for an unconstitutional vote and an unconstitutional outcome. I would have to say it is the constitution itself that is no longer being held valid and anything unconstitutional is considered valid. The oath is no longer taken as sacred. That is what needs to be addressed, that these things have been going on for way too long and We the People did nothing. The division in our nation is directly due to the unconstitutional lack of structure we have been suffering under, complacently and the promoting of division for the purpose of conquering by the unconstitutional federal intervention of our schools and the constitution hating media. I think our work is cut out for us here.

    1. Yes, our work will be hard but by using the Constitution, the very document Obama trashes and hates, we can assure his downfall.

    2. Yes, and that is why we started the Affirmation Day concept. Diane is familiar with it, and has written a blog on it already. We are in the process of sending her further information to distribute as she is able. Affirmation Day os a day to recognize and affirm our Constitution, and to tell our elected repreentatives that We, the People hold their job descrition in Our hands! Start abiding by it, or youre FIRED! My FB id is Affirmation Day, find me there and ask for details on how you can be a part!

  7. I've seen similar comments from other sources. The obvious flaw in this thinking is that if it is unconstitutional because of not originating in the House, why didn't Justice Roberts and the others kill it on those terms. Subtlety does not get results out of Congress. All it gets is THE BIRD and we get the shaft.

    1. I think that Roberts pulled a fast one to prove a point that Obama is a liar and that it is indeed a tax. I'd say good call on Roberts part.

    2. Exactly, and if he ruled with the conservative 4 justices the lsm would scream racism, as in 4 rich white men and a token rich black don't want the poor and minorities to have health coverage. The race cars would be played to the hilt. Roberts' move will be proven to be a stroke of genius in the end.

  8. Diane, here's what happened. The original bill was HB 3200. Harry Reid took the language out of HB 3200 and inserted it into HB 3590, an appropriations bill which was passed by the House, he then presented it to the Senate for a vote and it passed. Since HB 3590 did originate in and had already been passed by the House all the two houses had to do afterwards was meet to "iron out their differences". It wasn't hard to do that because both houses were controlled by Dems at the time. All they had to do then was present it to Obama for signature. It was sleight of hand but didn't violate Senate rules. Roberts did do us two favors though; he slammed the door shut on the commerce clause and he gave us a tax issue to hammer Obama with. It may well cost Obama the election and if that happens repeal of Obamacare should be relatively easy.

    1. By taking the language out and twisting it around to fit his wants and then pushing it through the Senate and then back to the House, parlimentary procedure was indeed breached. The bill passed by the House was NOT the bill passed by the Senate which originated their own bill and that is where the problem and our solution lie.

    2. Try as they might, the dems twisting the US Constitution will not sit well with many Congress people or judges for that matter. They ALL take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies: both foreign and domestic.

      The same bill that starts in the House must remain the same bill. Yes, both sides vote on the same bill and then try to hammer out their differences in their respective committees which gives CONgress time to read the bill. This NEVER happened ! Why not ?

      Why didn't they give all 535 members a chance to read this bill BEFORE they signed ? Remember what Pelosi said (para) "We have to pass it to see whats in it." That alone tells me things were "hidden" in it.

      Not only that, who is in charge of collecting Federal taxes in the US ? The IRS. This means then it is a TAX ! The "shell game" is fraud on the street and its illegal in Congress as well.

  10. BTW, for those who have any doubts about the premiss in my op-ed, remember tax and revenue bills MUST originate in the House only as per the Constitution. The 'NEW' original bill was introduced in the Senate and NOT the House as Harry Reid had radically changed the actual original House bill, thus the one he presented for passage was NOT the one the House had passed. Instead of his bill going back to the House first for approval it went straight to the Senate and as a totally different NEW bill it should NEVER have been introduced for passage in the Senate.

  11. Yes, Obama "should be" held in contempt, but he never will be. And he did indeed misrepresent the bill, but his feet will never be held to the fire.

    Even if we were to be optimistic (for arguments sake)and assume congress held him in contempt - Obama and his ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION totally ignore laws, sentences, subpoenas, judgements and such forth. Holder is in criminal contempt of congress NOW yet the DOJ REFUSES to enforce ruling. Obama was ordered by a Judge to allow drilling to continue, yet completely ignored ordered...even adding additional moratoriums afterward.

    So though you are 100% correct, Obama and his admin make it "in your face" that they do not abide by our constitution and think it's a piece of toilet paper. They refuse to follow laws. They make it clear they will not enforce laws. And equally clear that the laws they choose to enforce will only be enforced on certain people. The man even makes his own laws by executive order.

    I'm afraid we are stuck with him and his entourage until the end of Jan 2013, assuming Romney will be elected. We will be stuck with his mandates, bills, new laws, etc for quite some time. It is going to be a 24/7 job for congress to overturn, rewrite, vote down, reverse, etc, etc, etc, all of Obama's damage. And some things can't be undone. They're permanent. And these are the things we are aware of.The list we only KNOW OF is never ending. How about the stuff done right under our noses! Like the "law of the sea". His newest executive order written so vague it can be interpreted any way he wishes at will at any time, possibly counting any citizen at any time as an enemy of state for undermining his executive order. (left to the imagination what would be defined as "undermining") If guilty, the gov can seizing all assets, stripping away all rights. And he has ENDLESS executive orders on every topic both foreign and domestic.

    He defies our constitution, laws, rules, traditions, courts.

    I wish we had an entire congress made up of Darrel Issa's and Allen West's.

  12. Diane. You made a lot of sense but I have a greater concern. According to the latest polls Obama is picking up momentum. He is gaining in FL, OH, PA not to mention other states. So if this fraud is reelected the entire analysis becomes moot. Any words of wisdom?

    1. He gained a bit in the immediate day or so following the ruling, as we all expected, but the newest polls show him starting to lose steam with Romney gaining again. BTW, our Florida governor says he will not implement ObamaCare as have 18 other governors I believe.

  13. You may have missed another point which really bugs me - "but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.” Didn't they give "exemptions" to about 1300 corporations and unions??? (and of course, Congress!)
