“If you watch only the network evening news, you might not have heard that on Monday, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled the obvious: ObamaCare violates the Constitution. Twenty-six states had filed suit over the law, specifically arguing that the mandate that individuals purchase health insurance violates the Constitution by granting Congress too much power under the Commerce Clause. Vinson, a Reagan appointee, agreed and struck down the entire law.” http://patriotpost.us/edition/2011/02/04/digest From Judge Vinson’s ruling, "Never before has Congress required everyone buy a product from a private company (essentially for life) just for being alive and residing in the United States.”

Comment from a patriot, Sue, regarding ObamaCare and the mandate for those without insurance to buy coverage under penalty of law: “What’s next? Will homeless people be mandated to buy a house?”

r anyone who doesn’t have the time or patience to follow how the Mission Viejo council majority is spending Other People’s Money, here’s the bottom line. By June 2011, the shortfall is estimated to be $2.4 million. Regardless of spin, the city continues to spend more than it takes in. Relevant impacts on the city’s financial picture include aging infrastructure, barren slopes and an estimated cost of $80 million to bring city streets up to good condition. The city has a unique way of estimating its “discretionary reserves” to include money that’s already spent, obligated or needed to meet payroll and maintain essential public services. Comment from a Buzz reader, “Is it just a coincidence that the predominant color in the city’s glossy mailers is red?”
