A Tea Party Mission

By Larry Reams

Obamacare has been ruled unconstitutional by two federal courts.  The whole world knows this issue will ultimately be decided by the US Supreme Court.  There are two ways to get the issue to the USSC.  The normal path is through appeal up through the court system.  Best estimate is 2-3 years before the USSC decides the case.  This is the method Obama and Holder prefer.  Why?  It takes longer and more of the provisions of Obamacare can be implemented before the case is heard.  The hope is we will grow to accept Obamacare the longer it takes in this process - more people will already be dependent on it, and the USSC will thus be influenced to not rule against it.  The longer it takes, the better for Obama, Holder and their fellow travelers.

The other route is to "fast track" it.  Perfectly legal and has been done before with such critical and contentious issues.  The states want the fast track.  Why? It saves them millions of dollars by not having to set up all the infrastructure, etc. to implement Obamacare only to ultimately have it ruled unconstitutional.  They'd also save money by not having to fight all the appeals.  Wasted millions the collective states don't have.  The faster the decision is rendered, the better for the states.  Fast track could take under six months.  And, an unconstitutional ruling would be a severe blow to Obama's re-election.

It's the Feds vs the States.  We The People vs Big, Intrusive  Government.  Which side of the equation is the Tea Party on?  The states and the people!  I wonder what would happen if Tea Parties around the country jumped on this bandwagon and demanded that Holder fast track this case to the US Supreme Court?  We'd get rid of Obamacare faster, the states would save millions of taxpayer dollars and less headaches all around.  And Obama would probably be a one term president.  Food for thought.
