Question: What would be the chance that Obama Care would be found unconstitutional?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Zero.

Answer #2:

There is no chance, they would just look the other way and pretend they haven't noticed it is unconstitutional.

Answer #3:

I am sure there is an army of lawyers trying to prevent that.

Answer #4:

No chance at all !

Answer #5:

The government has the right to issue taxes, including specific extras (like social security tax). The government has the right (and routinely does) offer tax breaks to anyone who makes certain private purchases (like buying Turbo Tax, among many examples). From a legal standpoint, it's the same thing, just a different rhetoric.

Also, the Supremacy clause and Commerce clause easily allow the Federal government to regulate health-care. Especially if they are opening it up for purchase across state lines. Then it is pretty much directly out of the commerce clause.

Answer #6:

It should be found unconstitutional if it passes. However the courts don't always seem to do the right thing.
It seems ridiculous to try to force such a bad bill through.
Hopefully Congress does its job and votes it down. I

Answer #7:

Pissing off the Supreme Court & human nature being what it is, I'd say their is a better chance of it now being found unconstitutional. In the future Obama, if you are going to bad mouth someone, you might want to make sure they don't have the power to ruin your parade.

Answer #8:

Actually it's almost certain large parts of it will be found unconstitutional.

In fact, the people who wrote the bill were aware of that fact when they wrote it... so they included wording like "if parts of the bill are declared unconstitutional it doesn't negate other parts."

Answer #9:

It would be overturned, especially with the supreme court we have now...Pelosi could not defend it, and no one in their right mind could say it is Constitutional.

Article 2, section 8 says nothing about the power to make you buy from private companies...period.

Answer #10:

Slim to none, even if it s unconstitutional. They'll pay off the Supreme Court, just like the Congress and White House are bought by different industries.
