LEGISLATIVE ALERT!
Although the Health Care Bill has already passed I believe it is still necessary for me to update my blog readers on the latest developments about the new law. One of the major concerns expressed by me and other Constitutional lawyers was the fact that this legislation was basically adopt…
THE NIGHTMARE OF THE HEALTH CARE BILL
When I first read the original health care reform bill, HR 3200, it was akin to trying to cross a minefield in combat. The bill was a mishmash of confusing sections that established a massive Federal government takeover of the health care system in the United States. However, reading the v…
FREE AMERICANS WILL PREVAIL
It is the beginning of the winter of 1777 and 12,000 ragged and ill equipped men, the remnants of what appeared to be a thoroughly defeated Continental army, followed General George Washington into a winter encampment in a place called Valley Forge. They had little in the way of food or warm clothin…
THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CONSTITUTION
What many Americans have feared for years may be about to come to pass. We have an out of control Congress and an arrogant, elitist President who believes it his destiny to transform the United States from a republic to a socialist system of government where individual freedoms are severel…
OBAMACARE 5.0
After much anticipation, at least by the so-called mainstream media, the White House has released the new and improved version of Obamacare. Since I have already had to read two previous versions of these monstrosities in the House and two more in the Senate, I call this version Obamacare 5.0 and it…
The Fight is Just Beginning

THE OBAMACARE JUGGERNAUT CONTINUES
As the Congress continues to rewrite and introduce new versions of so called health care reform legislation in both houses of Congress the citizens of the United States are treated to longer and longer bills that are more and more confusing. The House has passed its version and now the Senate has vo…
THE PELOSI VERSION OF HR 3200
When I first read HR 3200 in its entirety several months ago I was appalled at the blatant disregard in the bill of the basic tenets of our Constitutional form of government. However, I underestimated what is actually being done to us. The newest version of HR 3200 that has been labeled the Pelosi B…
The Baucus Bill: More of the Same
A number of people are emailing me asking me if I have read the Baucus Bill and what I think of it. The problem is there is no real bill introduced yet. What is available is what is called the Chairman’s Mark of America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009” to be considered by the Senate Finance Committee. …
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE SPEECH
Last night President Obama made what was touted by much of the media as a major address to Congress and the American people on healthcare. I’m not going to write a lengthy response to the speech because first, there was really nothing new in it, and secondly, he did not addres…

The Truth About the Health Care Bills
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that we…
