A huge campfire.  I almost didn't know where to start.  Amongst all of the pissing and moaning, I found lots of DUmmie on Dummie action in this one, of which I rowed over three quick rounds. 

Friday Night Fight Night!  Let's meet the DUmmie's campfire we'll be fighting around this evening: DUmmie cal04!:

Appeals court rules against Obama healthcare law

An appeals court ruled on Friday that President Barack Obama's healthcare law requiring Americans to buy healthcare insurance or face a penalty was unconstitutional, a blow to the White House.

The Appeals Court for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, found that Congress exceeded its authority by requiring Americans to buy coverage, but also ruled that the rest of the wide-ranging law could remain in effect.

The legality of the so-called individual mandate, a cornerstone of the healthcare law, is widely expected to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Obama administration has defended the provision as constitutional.

37. Most laws are written so that parts can be struck down without
   
bringing down the entire law. It's called severability. It would have been real amateur hour to leave this out of a controversal bill.

In three, two, one...

45. amateurs wrote this law
   
Roger Vinson, the federal judge behind today's ruling, agreed with plaintiffs who argued that if the mandate is unconstitutional, the entire law should be struck down.

That's because the legislation lacked the so-called "severability clause,"



http://www.aolnews.com/2011/01/31/severability-clause-at-heart-of-judge-vinsons-ruling-that-obam/


I have no idea if that's a reliable source (first I found in google) or if the supremes would agree. But I have heard this many times before with convincing explanations from reliable sources. There's also the probability that severability doesn't matter since the mandate is what makes the rest of the bill work. Without it, many other things would have to go.

Winner: alc

83. I also hope for the individual mandate's demise. It was a Republican idea to start with.

85. Which Republican? I thought that the Nixon era plan had a business mandate, no
   
individual mandate?

And the individual mandate first showed up in Hillarycare?

I was not aware it was included in Hillarycare. Was it?

I must be living in that one time warp where Romney has never been a Senator or Representative.

111. I Googled. I can't tell for sure without spending more time, but my best guess is
   
she had no individual mandate until she ran for President. IOW, I probably had bad info.

114. Probably not necessary. My original info came from a message board, maybe even this one.
   
I should know better.

Sometimes it's just fine to speculate.

That's why I only bothered to bring over the little amount that I did.  That thread has enough mess DNA to be a thread twice its size.

That thread is epic - and if the Supreme Court strikes down what is Obama's ONLY tangible 'accomplishment', 'The One' will get to run on four years of debt & misery for naught for his reelection campaign.

I'm not Googling it.

I remember a recent trend called Vajazzleing which involved attaching glitter onto places where it really doesn't belong. I'm assuming that Pejazzleing is the male equivalent.

Oh, oh, oh...I thought of another accomplishment the Kenyan can brag about.

He shut down the U.S. space program, and redirected NASA to conduct outreach to muzzies, whatever that is.

If that wasn't so pathetic, it would be funny.
Quick, define "advanced".  No swear words allowed.

"Advanced" as in the enlightened politics of North Korea? or the People's Paradise of Cuba?
No right wing radio there. No govt handouts either.

How about "Advanced" as in socialist Europe? Oh wait...their economies are crashing and they are undergoing austerity measures...No free handouts there either.

The chi-coms are embracing capitalism....muslims hate gays and atheists...Canada is turning conservative, and Israel has Jews...

What nations are the DUmmies preferred havens? Not sure they exist anymore...
