Do you think that Obamacare will end up in the United States Supreme Court?
Napolitano: Supreme Court to Strike Down Obamacare

President Barack Obama is one of the worst presidents ever in terms of respecting constitutional limitations on government, and the states suing the federal government over healthcare reform "have a pretty strong case" and are likely to prevail, according to author and judicial analyst Andrew P. Napolitano.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV’s Ashley Martella, Napolitano says the president’s healthcare reforms amount to "commandeering" the state legislatures for federal purposes, which the Supreme Court has forbidden as unconstitutional.
"The Constitution does not authorize the Congress to regulate the state governments," Napolitano says. "Nevertheless, in this piece of legislation, the Congress has told the state governments that they must modify their regulation of certain areas of healthcare, they must surrender their regulation of other areas of healthcare, and they must spend state taxpayer-generated dollars in a way that the Congress wants it done.

"That’s called commandeering the legislature," he says. "That’s the Congress taking away the discretion of the legislature with respect to regulation, and spending taxpayer dollars. That’s prohibited in a couple of Supreme Court cases. So on that argument, the attorneys general have a pretty strong case and I think they will prevail.”
Napolitano, author of his just-released “Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History” and a Fox News senior judicial analyst, is the youngest Superior Court judge ever to attain lifetime tenure in the state of New Jersey. He served on the bench from 1987 to 1995.
Napolitano tells Newsmax that the longstanding precedent of state regulation of the healthcare industry makes the new federal regulations that much more problematic.
"The Supreme Court has ruled that in areas of human behavior that are not delegated to the Congress in the Constitution, and that have been traditionally regulated by the states, the Congress can’t simply move in there," Napolitano says. "And the states for 230 years have had near exclusive regulation over the delivery of healthcare. The states license hospitals. The states license medications. The states license healthcare providers whether they’re doctors, nurses, or pharmacists. The feds have had nothing to do with it.
"The Congress can’t simply wake up one day and decide that it wants to regulate this. I predict that the Supreme Court will invalidate major portions of what the president just signed into law…"
The judge also says he would rate President Obama as one of the worst presidents in terms of obedience to constitutional limitations.
"I believe we have a one party system in this country, called the big-government party," Napolitano says. "There is a Republican branch that likes war and deficits and assaulting civil liberties. There is a Democratic branch that likes welfare and taxes and assaulting commercial liberties.
"President Obama obviously is squarely within the Democratic branch. The president who had the least fidelity to the Constitution was Abraham Lincoln, who waged war on half the country, even though there’s obviously no authority for that, a war that killed nearly 700,000 people. President Obama is close to that end of lacking fidelity to the Constitution. He wants to outdo his hero FDR."
For those who oppose healthcare, the Fox legal expert says, the bad news is that many of the legal challenges to healthcare reform will have to wait until 2014, when the changes become fully operational.
Until then, there would be no legal case that individuals had been actually harmed by the law. Moreover, Napolitano says it takes an average of four years for a case to work its way through the various federal courts the final hearing that’s expected to come before the Supreme Court.
"You’re talking about 2018, which is eight years from now, before it is likely the Supreme Court will hear this," he says.
Other issues that Napolitano addressed during the wide-ranging interview:
He believes American is in danger of becoming "a fascist country," which he defines as "private ownership, but government control." He adds, "The government doesn’t have the money to own anything. But it has the force and the threat of violence to control just about anything it wants. That will rapidly expand under President Obama, unless and until the midterm elections give us a midterm correction – which everyone seems to think, and I’m in that group, is about to come our way.
Napolitano believes the federal government lacks the legal authority to order citizens to purchase healthcare insurance. The Congress [is] ordering human beings to purchase something that they might not want, might not need, might not be able to afford, and might no

Do you think it's a good question to ask if Obama is a Marxist?
In his New York Times column today, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol claimed that Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) now-infamous “bitter” remarks sound like Karl Marx’s “famous statement about religion.” On the Brian and the Judge radio show today, Fox News’ senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano asked Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) if Obama is “a Marxist as Bill Kristol says might be the case?”
“I must say that’s a good question,” replied Lieberman

If this "passes" what's next in the Cloward/Piven playbook?
As I’m sure Obama assured Rep Luis Guiterrez, the next step is Amnesty for Illegals. Do the math folks. If 20 Million illegals are magically transformed into citizens…then allowed to import their family members in the name of "compassion" what’s that get you? A conservative estimate would be 60 MILLION or more!
The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.
Is Amnesty for Illegals the next step in the playbook?
"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!" – Barack Obama
For the record I opposed this when Bush, McCain, and Graham were pushing it. In fact nearly 85% of the country did. Now we’ll see just how blind Obama’s followers are.
Think about this people. 60 Million is the population of Texas and California COMBINED!

is Obama a Socialist in disguise?
Remember, the financial chaos you are witnessing today in America was not
accidental…
"The Strategy was first elucidated in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation
magazine by a pair of radical socialist Columbia University professors, Richard
Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. David Horowitz summarizes it as, ‘The
strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The
"Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by
overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus
pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.’"

In recent memory, every presidential debate eventually distills down into a few catchphrases. Al Gore became known for his sighs and love of lockboxes. John Kerry actually served in Vietnam. Dan Quayle was no Jack Kennedy.
Barack Obama has a bracelet, too.
That inartful comeback will likely filter out through the political ether in the days ahead. What might not filter through our partisan press is that shortly after pointing out that, like John McCain, he sports a bracelet given to him by a military family, Barack Obama had to stop and look down find out the name of the soldier he’s honoring.
That soldier is Ryan David Jopek. Barack Obama doesn’t appear to have known that fact.
Here’s his complete line:
"Jim, let me just make a point. I’ve got a bracelet too. From, Sergeant, uh, uh, from the mother of, uh, Sergeant, Ryan David Jopek."
Had a Republican, say Sarah Palin, made this gaffe, who wants to bet that we wouldn’t hear this clip repeated endlessly during the post-debate spin shows and in the days ahead? How much would the sincerity of our hypothetical Republican politician be called into question.
I didn’t hear it discussed once in the post-debate coverage. Did you?

How can America stop the puppet democracy being run by CFR greed and control at the expense of the people?
CFR = Council on Foreign Relations the organization started by John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan & Paul Warburg the same robber barons who manipulated the Wall Street Crash of 1929, to take control of printing US Dollars & regulating the the interest rate away from Congress and the US Treasury.
They also eliminated commidity backed currency "The Gold Standard" in favor of "FIAT" currency: Paper backed by NOTHING and appointed International Private Bankers in charge of controling American interest rates.
This was orchestrated to usurp power to their PRIVATELY owned "Federal" Reserve banking system that holds secret closed-door meeting where trancripts have a 5 year lag from the Gov’t & the American people!
Why and WHO is America paying the interest to on our National debt….
CFR members include:
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Mitt Romney
Fred Thompson
Jim Gilmore
Newt Gingrich
John Edwards
Joe Biden
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
