AN INITIAL WIN

A wise voice has arisen from, of all places, the federal bench. This new hero to the conservatives of our nation is Virginia based Judge Henry Hudson. In a most recently release opinion, Judge Hudson has found that a section of the Obama healthcare legislation is wrong, unconstitutional and is not to be enforced. The impacted section has to do with the federal mandate that all Americans have to buy health insurance.

By the standard operation of our federal court system, this matter is not over and there will be appeals to higher courts and perhaps even a direct appeal to the US Supreme Court. Dropping this case into the laps of the justices of the Supreme Court could well be a blessing for all of us "right" thinkers in that this branch of the federal government is, by a majority of one vote, a conservative group.

In response to this ruling by Judge Hudson, US Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) stated it best by expressing, "Congress must obey the Constitution rather than make it up as we go along. Liberty requires limits on government and today those limits have been upheld."

Hudson's federal court ruling could well be the beginning of successful efforts to reclaim not only Washington but also all of America from the Obama led socialist/liberal/progressives who today sit in power. This redefining of who is in control can not come fast enough and if the damage to the American way of life as contemplated by the "lame duck" Congress can be avoided, or at least limited, then in January Obama will lose that ally, the House of Representatives, and most importantly lose control over the federal check book.

Most recently there have been published reports that Obama appointees want to place into the grasp of the federal government additional aspects of American life. These newly focused upon areas include: 1) the nationalization of all IRA and 401K accounts so that Washington has control over these funds and, by a formula yet to be defined, allow disbursement to the citizens who over the years saved this money; 2) monitor and control the Internet with the goal of overall censorship and of taxing aspects of its use; 3) establishing interest rates that must be followed nationwide on every element of our economy that utilizes any type of interest; and 4) limiting all public school bake sales and give aways by mandating the ingredients that can go into the preparation of these items.

January will be here in just over two weeks and the House of Representatives will be lost to Obama. Also, November of 2012 draws nearer every day and hopefully the White House will then be also lost to Obama.
