U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson has ruled that Congress violated the Constitution by requiring Americans to buy health insurance and that the entire law “must be declared void.”
The Obama Administration said that is has no plans to halt implementation of the law. “We will continue to give the American people what they don’t want” declared a defiant President Obama to the cheers of adoring press voters.
As your community organizer-in-chief, it is my responsibility to rule Americans and do what’s in their best interest, even if they don’t recognize my policies as being what’s good for them. As for this judge, a Republican I remind you, let’s see him try and stop us. We are not bound by a dusty old document written by slave-holders. My administration is filled with experts who know better. After all, who are you going to trust? The founding fathers or me?
The Obama administration had argued that requiring Americans to carry insurance was within the powers vested to it by the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Judge Vinson rejected that argument, saying under the Administration’s logic, all Americans could be forced to by GM cars because if they don’t they are “adversely impacting commerce.”
The Administration countered that the Judge’s argument is ridiculous and it has no plans to force Americans to buy GM cars. “Except for the people who don’t buy health insurance that is.”
The judge’s ruling will no doubt embolden the law’s critics who have pointed out that the Obama Administration has already weakened the bill by granting wavers to many businesses so they do not have to comply with the law. Said an Administration official:
Of course we gave them waivers. They voted for us. Look this bill would kill their profits and we only want to put those who voted against Obama out of business. This is off the record right? That camera isn’t on is it? What? It is? Mommy! Mommy!
Anticipating opposition to implementing the signature health care reform law, the Obama Administration, in a pre-emptive move, will run a series of commercial starring popular cereal spokesman the Trix Rabbit (pictured here). The rabbit will allay fears and inform people that the Constitution does not have to be followed in this case. In the first commercial released Trix tries to read the Constitution only to have President Obama take it out of his hands, saying, “Silly rabbit. The Constitution is for kids.”

Meanwhile, Obama keeps trying and failing to focus on jobs.
Shamus: Jobs? Don’t be bourgeois. The important thing is to create another entitlement program to add to our unsustainable debt.
I think I’m going to move another country, get elected as Supreme Messiah, and totally screw up their economy! I like that idea.
“….it is my responsibility to rule Americans and do what’s in their best interest, even if they don’t recognize my policies as being what’s good for them.”
That’s a rare moment of humility for president obongo, usually it’s – “…it is my responsibility to rule Americans and do what’s in their best interest, even if they are too stupid to recognize that my policies are what’s good for them.”
Ah, our “progressive” overlords…when will they learn?
MK: A valid point.
Matt: Learn? They never will.
These people are as shallow as they come.
