ACLJ will challenge ObamaCare
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 3/25/2010 5:20:00


Yet another Christian law firm is preparing to possibly file a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the healthcare bill signed by President Obama on Tuesday.

The Thomas More Law Center has already filed a lawsuit challenging the healthcare bill's constitutionality. In a similar vein, Jordan Sekulow -- director of international operations with the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) -- says his firm is concerned about the individual mandate requirement in the bill.

"For the first time, the government will require that individuals purchase something from private corporations, private insurance companies," he notes, "We're looking right now at the aspects of representing both individuals and members of Congress to challenge that individual mandate, because I think that's what's most important."

Sekulow points out that liberals are not happy with the mandate clause because they think it provides a bailout for insurance companies.

"Here you have a purely Democrat plan that requires an individual to buy something from those insurance companies, that Democrats criticize so much with little regulation over what they have to change," he regards. "So you're not just hearing this from conservatives who are upset, but also from the left as well who's upset at how this enables the insurance companies and really bails them out."

The ACLJ spokesman expects there will be significant and real challenges throughout the courts, and he believes the American people will stay fired up because groups like the ACLJ are not letting this issue go by the wayside.

1. ". . . access to mental health services" PRICELESS!

[stevedeshazer]

2. A "Christian" law firm?

What, no shellfish? No garments mingled with different fabrics?

[madinmaryland]

5. I wonder if an FSM Law Firm will provide a rebuttal to the Christian Law Firm.

I'm sure she has a tasty opinion on this.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Heavens forbid that this so-called religious organization would want to actually help people.

I guess that the bible wasn't an essential part of their reading.

[RKP5637]

4. Helping people has been excluded from some religions today, and some

are hatred clubs.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. It's why we stopped going to church. Organized religion is not needed

for spirituality. In fact, it often gets in the way, for us anyway.

[RKP5637]

8. Quite true, I agree 100% n/t

[OnionPatch]

17. It's mostly about being "saved" these days.

And the rest doesn't matter because...you're saved.

And you can put a cool, Goth-looking sticker on your car.

7. For a group that whines about frivolous law suits...

They sure file a lot of them.

[ivycat]

9. I know the one thing I remember

about early church classes growing up, was that Jesus absolutely HATED when people were loving their neighbors, helping their fellow man, and treating others the way you want to treated.

I can't wait until the "REAL" Christian Bible comes out and gets rid of all that touchy-feely Socialist crap.:eyes:

[RagAss]

10. Thorazine for Everyone !

[Kievan Rus]

11. How Christian of them -- they're more pseudo-Christians

[prolesunited]

12. Bet these smaller groups are just using it

as a fund-raising scam. Give us money so we can fight these big bad liberals.

[Bozita]

13. That law firm was created by Tom Monaghan of Domino's fame... right after starting Ave Maria Law Sch

Falwell's gone, but Monaghan and his brand of Catholicism lives on.

[demosincebirth]

14. " What you do for the least of my brothers, you do to me."

Something they, evidently, overlooked in the their bible.

[Bozita]

15. Betting the law firm is getting/has gotten big $$$$$ from healthcorp

[cojoel]

16. so sad

These Christians so long ago forgot to heed to teachings of Christ. :(

[Bozita]

18. this kick is inspired by my anger
