A coalition of 20 states has come together to sue the federal government over Obamacare. The states say that the law is no longer Constitutional and it should be abolished.
Without the individual mandate (a provision in the Obamacare law that demanded all Americans buy health insurance that the government deemed acceptable or pay a fine) which has been removed, the law is supposedly unconstitutional. Often called the “teeth” of the Obamacare law, the individual mandate was highly controversial and should have never been shoved down the throats of people anyway.
According to Reuters, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel are leading the charge of 20 states standing up to the federal government. The lawsuit said that without the individual mandate, which was eliminated as part of the Republican tax law signed by President Donald Trump in December, Obamacare was unlawful. “The U.S. Supreme Court already admitted that an individual mandate without a tax penalty is unconstitutional,” Paxton said in a statement. “With no remaining legitimate basis for the law, it is time that Americans are finally free from the stranglehold of Obamacare, once and for all,” he said.
Texas and Wisconsin were joined in the lawsuit by 18 other states including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Utah and West Virginia. It was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas.
“Obamacare was always designed to fail in order to usher in something worse,” says Melissa Dyke at Truthstream Media. But what could possibly be any worse than Obamacare? “Government-run, single-payer, socialist healthcare,” says Dykes. And the evidence is in the leaked Podesta emails up on Wikileaks.
A Democrat supporting Republican legislation to destroy Obamacare on purpose. How many millions have they raked in on this deal and bilked the American people for in Obamacare penalties because they can’t afford the “affordable” health care? And the American people will look at this like a “victory” when it does unravel, even though it has been the plan all along. –The Daily Sheeple
It’s still difficult to comprehend that in the “land of the free” the federal government could, for any reason, tax and individual for NOT buying something. And we wonder why we’re constantly sliding down on the freedom index. (The US is at #17 by the way, meaning 16 other countries have more freedom than those residing here do.) And the country had to claw their way to the #17 spot after being 7 places below that the year before.
Good idea – just be damned sure that the Democrats in both houses are the ones who are tapped to pay the settlements. Can’t you see it!!!? All those legislators who’ve enriched themselves at the nation’s expense having to give back everything they’ve ever earned, sell all their properties and belongings, get real jobs and face lifetime garnishments!!? Wow, I better wake up now, might fall out of my office chair.
How about all 50 States Sue the Feds to Abolish the IRS? Erase all this IRS extortion debt on your working productivity. We need to put that money to work in our own communities instead of transferring it to the Fascist (MIC) Mafia War Machine, and deep black hole of the Fed Grabberment.
The Pentagon cannot account for 25% of their annual budgets. Hunt down the thieves, jail them and recoup our tax payer assets. Their annual Budget is nearly $700 Billion Annually That’s $175 Billion Annually gone Missing by Theft!! Every 4 years an entire annual Defense budget amount is stolen. Hello… Stop looking at the active shooter BS distractions and look at the Government Budget theft going on, right in front of our very eyes. And more Fake Wars or invented threats, keeps the Budgets flush with Cashola. Its a rip off and a Fraud. Stop feeding the beast at every turn.
PERFECT! Install the Fair Tax! Send Learner and every other IRS agent to jail or the gallows!
In other news,some of you may remember when we were discussing “Peak Oil” a few years back, I mentioned that the world was awash in oil & gas and I specifically mentioned Mozambique as a location where such giants could be found.

Arn’t unfunded mandates unconstitutional?
But does it matter? The constitution is meaningless now anyway.
John, to the contrary, the Constitution is becoming more meaningful every day. The traitors will soon see the value of the 2nd.
Beans are one of prepper’s favorite stock.
When beans sit in your bucket they can develop a fungus. You will get sick. But there is a simple solution.
Soak beans for two or three hours in water with a cup of baking soda. You can soak overnight if you like. After they soak in the baking soda solution, rinse well and cook beans.
Baking soda is not all made equal. Keep the cheap Arm and Hammer for laundry and air freshener, etc. Buy baking soda that is processed without chemicals for cooking.
If you only have Arm and Hammer baking soda, go ahead and use it. It’s better than getting a fungal infection from your beans.
Baking soda has at least one hundred different uses. Google it. And stock up.

Whether it’s lawful or not, when a government forces people to buy something against their will, it is abuse.
Where are the rest? All fifty states should be suing.
