BloggeRhythms 12/13/2010

It seems to be getting clearer every day that government's gotten totally out of hand, and people will no longer sit by and let that happen. As I noted yesterday, even John McCain woke up and realized that folks have had it with politicians, and he seems to be beginning to understand that what citizens really want is to live their lives unfettered by self-serving drains on their pocketbooks and lifestyles.

To that extent, Henry E. Hudson, a federal judge in Virginia, ruled Monday that a major component of the new health care reform law is unconstitutional. He held that the state's claim that the requirement for people to purchase health care exceeds the power of Congress under the Constitution's Commerce Clause or under the General Welfare Clause. He wrote, "It is not the effect on individuals that is presently at issue, it is the authority of Congress to compel anyone to purchase health insurance."

Now, as far as his ruling goes, the judge really expects the there will be an appeal by the government, and the case will ultimately end up in the Supreme Court. But, I don't think that really matters. Because there's much more to this than just the health care bill.

What people are seeing very clearly now, perhaps for the very first time thanks to technology, media and the Internet in particular, is how government really works at the top. And it's the displays of conniving, underhanded and insidious misuse of power that's getting exposed more vividly every day. So, it isn't just the legislation that's unravelling, it's the politicos themselves.

That's it for today folks

Adios
