It only interest you because two "conservatives" backed the government position at this level of the appeal process, had they struck it down, you'd of dismissed it. Be interested in it, it means very little.

yes, it interests me that two 'conservatives' backed the government posistion, why do you dismiss the importance of this? is it 'damage control' on the part of conservatives? try and sweep it under the rug?

"Different from other forms of commerce"

If you follow that line of logic and precedence you can then do the same with food, shelter and clothing...and then automobiles, insurance of any type, etc etc.

Congress doesnt know how to back off of a line of thinking, its up to the courts to tell them.

Exactly, and if this law stands as Constitutional after hitting SCOTUS... that's ball game, time to pack it up and bury the constitution. Scary Hyperbole? Not really, reality check. Your ability to decide what's best for you, just to exist as a person in this country will have been forever trashed. The people that support that have earned my most deepest, and utter contempt. Freedom and Liberty cannot exist in this country while the Congress has such power, and they will use it in other areas of our lives the moment this is deemed "Constitutional"

It's called dismissing the irrelevant. What's to sweep under the rug? It's going to the SCOTUS... so does it matter really what this ruling was, either way?

i think so, yes.....the high court will review the lower court rulings, to determine if their is a reason to overturn them, or to use when making their own decision. so yes, important, and it does matter

Who will be the brave mother****ers going to peoples houses to steal assets for the docs? Better bring a surgeon too because that bullet in the mouth and brain could quite possibly be fatal.
 
Appeals court upholds health care law

Read it and weep, cons.

Appeals court upholds health care law - USATODAY.com

WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld the government's new requirement that most Americans buy health insurance, in the first decision by a U.S. appeals court on the centerpiece of the Obama-sponsored health-care overhaul.

The ruling by the Cincinnati-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit gives the administration a significant victory. Yet the 2-1 panel decision marks what is likely to be the first in a series of appeals court rulings in upcoming months. Ultimate resolution of the politically charged dispute is likely to come from the U.S. Supreme Court sometime next year.

Wednesday's decision, however, is the most significant to date, because it is the first by an appeals court and constitutes the first time that a Republican-appointee has voted to uphold the law.

Prior rulings were issued by district court judges, on the first rung of the U.S. judiciary, and in all of those, GOP-appointed judges had struck down the mandate that Americans buy insurance by 2014 and Democratic-appointee had found it constitutional.

In Wednesday's case, Judge Boyce Martin, named by Democratic President Jimmy Carter, and Judge Jeffrey Sutton, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, joined together for the panel majority to declare the individual-mandate provision a valid use of congressional power.

considering obama has "won" in lower(I prefer meaningless) courts before, I'll save my weeping for the supreme court, it's pretty much fated to go there.
