Top 6 reasons Obamacare is probably illegal

Hobby Lobby ruling spotlights other constitutional problems

The Supreme Court ruling Monday that some corporations can opt out of Obamacare’s contraception coverage for women for religious reasons brings a spotlight to the health-care law’s other possible major legal challenges.

A book making the case to impeach President Obama argues Obamacare not only is unconstitutional, it illegally bypasses Congress, infringes on states’ rights and marks an unprecedented and unauthorized expansion of Internal Revenue Service power.

In “Impeachable Offenses: The Case to Remove Barack Obama from Office,” New York Times bestselling authors Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott quote scholars and legal organizations contending Obamacare constitutes a clear case of “taxation without representation.”

The book was released last August, but it has been getting renewed media attention amid legal challenges launched against Obama and some calls for his impeachment by prominent conservative figures.

Just last week, the South Dakota Republican Party cited the book as a basis for passing an official resolution calling for Obama’s impeachment.

Congress should read this book... They don't seem smart enough to figure out what we all know on their own.

Soooo, the fact that this was reviewed by the Supreme Court means what, exactly?

We all knew it was illegal BEFORE it was passed.

Because we read it first.

We also knew it would make medical care prices skyrocket.

Because we read it first.

What worries me is that there are 4 on the SCOTUS that can't read our founding documents and abide by them.

8:48.. it means nothing. They only reviewed one particular aspect of the bill.
