VIRGINIA WINS FIRST LEGAL BOUT AGAINST HEALTH CARE BILL

A federal judge has ruled that Virginia may go ahead with its lawsuit challenging ObamaCare. U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson in Richmond yesterday denied a U.S. Justice Department request to throw out the suit and rejected arguments that the state had no right to sue. “While this case raises a host of complex constitutional issues, all seem to distill to the single question of whether or not Congress has the power to regulate -- and tax -- a citizen’s decision not to participate in interstate commerce,” the judge decided.

COMMENTS:
I believe that Virginia, as the more than 25 other states which have filed against ObamaCare, will prevail. To hold otherwise would be totally against the Constitution. No one, no one in this country, can compel me to buy something I do not want. Now, if someone were to buy me a hooker, something I do not want, I would have to relent because I might want to run for Congress someday and you can’t run for Congress unless you are friends with a few hookers.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Last week, I was asked about the status of the Memorial Cross in the Mohave Desert. After a long court battle against atheists and anti-Christian groups, the Supreme Court had ruled that the cross could stand. It was promptly torn down in the middle of the night by “unknown vandals.” It was then replaced with a replica, but the National Park Service took it down and the Justice Department refused to allow it to go back up. After a great deal of research, I have an answer. (Burney Mountain Hermit - Unknown Scribbler)
A. The VFW is in the process of getting title to the land. When that transfer process is complete, the cross will go back up. Mr. Eric Holder, Deputy Chairman of the Regime, refused to budge and openly snubbed the Supreme Court.

Q. Lindsay Lohan is out after only two weeks? (Kitty ~ Tucson, AZ)
A. Are you insinuating that she got out early because of her celebrity status? Perish the thought. Our government and our judges are as fair and honest as the day is long. Trust me.

Q. Obama says he is meeting his promise to get all American troops out of Iraq by the end of this month. Yet, he’s leaving 50,000 troops there? (Barry ~ Montgomery Creek, CA)
A. Well, they are no longer going be to combat troops. They will now be called a “transitional force.” Does that explain things to you?
