THOMAS MORE LAW CENTER FILES SUIT

Funny isn't it, that the bishops in America just can't see this. Sure, they're against abortion, and it does have the first place in any discussion of the health care bill, but what about the rest of these issues? Do they think it's right that the government can steal our property? Do they think it's right that the government can mandate that we must buy a product from a private corporation as a condition of our citizenship? Do they believe the government has the power to override our Constitution, a document created by the people through a free will act, a document that created the very government that now seeks to claim it's preeminence over it? Isn't an all powerful state bent on the redistribution of wealth a Marxist state? Do the teachings of the Popes and the Magisterium have no bearing at all on this subject?

The bishops aren't answering these questions because if they do they will be bound to stand up to this corrupt government and it's leaders. They will be forced to confront Marxism head on which will bring into the open their cooperation, through support of the Democrat party and all of the various "social justice" groups, in bringing this evil to power.

They've been bought and paid for. It will take an act of extreme courage for most to speak the truth because it will cause them great loss.

Pray for the bishops that they will die to themselves and put the Church and the people ahead of ambition and avarice.

"Parallel to the actions of 13 states’ attorneys general, the Thomas More Law Center has filed a lawsuit challenging the health care reform bill. The suit argues that it is unconstitutional to force someone to purchase health care coverage and to force those who object to pay for abortions.

...According to the complaint, filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, because of their “deeply held religious beliefs” the plaintiffs object to “being forced by the federal government to contribute in any way to the funding of abortion.” Abortion funding is contrary to their First Amendment rights of conscience and free exercise of religion, the complaint continues.

The lawsuit also charges that the health care reform law imposes unconstitutional government mandates on citizens. It challenges Congress’ authority under the Commerce Clause to pass the law, and claims violations of the Tenth Amendment which reserves power for the states and the people.

“Let’s face it, if Congress has the power to force individuals to purchase health insurance coverage or pay a federal penalty merely because they live in America, then it has the unconstrained power to mandate that every American family buy a General Motors vehicle to help the economy or pay a federal penalty,” Thompson argued.

He commented that Americans agree on the need for reform of health care, but said they do not want reform “by trampling on our Constitution.”

Attorneys general from 13 U.S. states have also filed a lawsuit charging that the Constitution “nowhere authorizes the United States to mandate, either directly or under threat of penalty, that all citizens and legal residents have qualifying health care coverage."
