Constitution or Politics? (From the New London DAY 12/16/10)
Recently, Judge Henry Hudson of Virginia raised a question of constitutional legality regarding the mandating of Healthcare Insurance for American citizens by the Obama Healthcare plan.
It is interesting to note that Judge Hudson apparently had previous connections as an investor in a consulting group which backed Republican candidates whose platform was to repeal Obama’s health care bill.
Does Judge Hudson also feel that it is now unconstitutional to require that all drivers have proper liability insurance coverage before taking their vehicles on the road?
And perhaps the Healthcare issue will now be taken to the Supreme Court…the same group who recently allowed unlimited political contributions by corporations and anonymous wealthy individuals.
Easy answer, EVERYTHING is about politics. I think Chris Matthews said that. It’s rather tragic that partisan politics trumps human compassion. This judge was appointed by Bush, if I’m not mistaken. Also, the Supreme Court that elected Bush back in 2000 will certainly side with conservatives on this issue.
