October 7, 2013 President Obama wants consumers to buy his health care insurance but the Affordable Car Act (Obamacare) is not constitutional as it violated the origination clause, as reported by Andrew C. McCarthy, a senior fellow at the National Review Institute and author, most recently, of “Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy” on Saturday. McCarthy pointed out that the Supreme Court justices held the “Affordable” Care Act unconstitutional as Obama presented it to the American people: namely, as a legitimate exercise of Congress’s power to regulate interstate commerce. “To sustain this monstrosity, Chief Justice John Roberts had to shed his robes and put on his legislator cap. He rewrote Obamacare as a tax — the thing the president most indignantly promised Americans that Obamacare was not,” said McCarthy. “We now know Obamacare was tax legislation. Consequently, it was undeniably a “bill for raising revenue,” for which the Constitution mandates compliance with the Origination Clause (Art. I, Sec. 7). The Clause requires that tax bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Obamacare did not,” McCarthy said.
