Dear editor,
Two recent rulings of the United States Supreme Court have sounded the death knell for our Constitutional Republic. The rule of the mob prevails. A mob has no brain, no ability to reason or think and is unwilling to restrain itself.
Since 1973, four rulings by the court destroyed the Republic and rule by law. The first was Roe vs. Wade that declared murder legal so long as the crime took place in the womb. The second was a ruling on the Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare, which allows the federal government to force individuals to purchase health care insurance. It is reasonable to assume that if the government can force citizens to purchase one product or service then other products or services can likewise be mandated.
It would be no surprise out here in the woods if a national movement is started to force citizens to visit Disney World or purchase a new automobile. If such purchases were ruled to be a legitimate function of government then subsidies similar to the ones for the purchase of healthcare would be in order. After all, the argument would go; everyone is entitled to have what everyone else has. The latest and probably final challenge to ObamaCare ended when the justices ruled that language in the law did not mean what it said. The language stated that federal subsidies could only be paid to individuals who enrolled in ObamaCare via exchanges established in each “State”.
There was nothing in the law to compel the States to establish an exchange and thirty-four States did not. The correct ruling would have been the end of ObamaCare but, thanks to the left wing political activist sitting on the court, the atrocity is alive and well. By declaring that the law meant the “state” which with a small “s” would have meant the federal government not the “S” as it was written, which meant the individual States. The new “Supreme Court of the United States Care” has been re-interpreted by the SCOTUS which is not what they are supposed to do.
