George Will, writing in the Washington Post<\/a>, highlights a very novel lawsuit working its way through the courts. Essentially, the thought process of the suit goes like this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Constitution says explicitly that, \u201cAll bills for raising reveornue [that\u2019s the 1700s spelling of \u201crevenue\u201d] shall originate in the House of Representatives\u201d. <\/li>\n
  2. The ObamaCare bill originated in the Senate. No problem there, but\u2026 <\/li>\n
  3. The Supreme Court, in what Will calls a \u201ccreative\u201d reading of the law, called the bill a \u201ctax\u201d on certain activity (or, in the case of ObamaCare, inactivity). <\/li>\n
  4. As a tax, it is therefore a revenue bill, but it did not originate in the House, and is therefore unconstitutional. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ya\u2019 gotta\u2019 wonder if Chief Justice John Roberts played rope-a-dope with the liberals on the bench in creating this particular interpretation, and was hoping someone out there would notice.<\/p>\n

    There are some other issues with how the bill was created, and reading this short piece, from a link in the show notes, is incredibly enlightening. Keep an eye on Matt Sissel and the Pacific Legal Foundation\u2019s lawsuit. We may be hearing about it more prominently in the months to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
