Obamacare Could Be Found Constitutional!!

Recently, I was engaging in a conversation with a judge a short while ago. I will refrain from giving his name or where he sits.


I asked his thoughts regarding Obamacare, and he told me, in fact, he wrote an opinion that it was constitutional.

He explained that there was a Supreme Court ruling handed down in the 1940's, when the government was trying to preserve wheat in the heartland, and a law was passed that no farmer could grow wheat for the purpose of feeding his family. This legislation made it to the Supreme Court and was found constitutional.

The judge said he felt the ruling was erroneous and totally wrong, but since that time other legislations has been found constitutional under the Interstate Commerce clause and this one ruling; therefore, he felt, since there is a precedence that Obamacareto be constitutional even though he hopes Republicans win and Obamacare is repealed since he feels it will cost too much and reduce healthcare in the US. 

I responded by saying, " Well,  that law and Obamacare are apples and oranges, and there is absolutely, no common sense to the 1940's ruling."

He said, and I quote, "We [judges] don't  rule on common sense."

Because, we were in a war in the 40's and wheat was an important staple for Americans, an absolutely inane and obscure law was passed for an issue of those times only and actually found constitutional. This ruling now is being used to find Obamacare constitutional, and it can have unbelievably devastating effects on America now.

How do you like them apples and oranges???
