Subject: Shocking admissions by ObamaCare's defenders
Liberty Counsel
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
5/11/2011
In yesterday's hearing at the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals, Neal K. Katyal, the Acting
Solicitor General, made several shocking
statements in defense of ObamaCare's outrageous
intrusion into private citizens' affairs.
Those admissions will doubtless play a major
role in the court's decision at this level
and, eventually, at the United States Supreme
Court. Please read my important message
below - Mat.
Dottie,
As you know, yesterday I presented the first oral argument
challenging the constitutionality of the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) at the federal appeals
level. I was up against Attorney General Eric Holder's
Department of Justice (DOJ) and their virtually unlimited
resources.
One of my main points to the court was that
mandates in ObamaCare go far beyond the limits
set by the Constitution. I argued that, in
reality, this so-called health insurance "reform"
law redistributes wealth among private parties
to achieve an alleged humanitarian ideal at an
unacceptable cost and is not authorized by the
Constitution!
++ The DOJ's response: The federal government can mandate
anything it wants!
In what may have been one of the most astounding admissions
I have yet encountered by the defenders of ObamaCare, during
oral argument the Acting Solicitor General acknowledged
that the law was unlike any other law in American history.
He also admitted that he believed Congress COULD force
individuals to buy certain food like, for instance, wheat!
To hear the Acting Solicitor General admit that
if this massive health insurance law is upheld,
Congress could FORCE individuals to purchase
certain kinds of food was truly astonishing
(and chilling)!
By the government's own admission, if ObamaCare
is upheld Congress would no longer have any
limitations on its regulatory power. Today it
is health insurance, but tomorrow it could be
food, transportation, housing, or whatever!
Big Brother would be the CEO of every business
and dictate all of our private choices. The
implications are staggering. Mark my words:
The stakes in the outcome of this litigation
could not possibly be higher!
Yesterday, following the hearing, I recorded a special audio
message for all Liberty Counsel team members. If you haven't
already heard it, go here to access my special report on
yesterday's ObamaCare court hearing:

++ THANK YOU for supporting us in this battle!
Over the past 24 hours, there has been widespread media
coverage on our case and that of Virginia Attorney General
Ken Cuccinelli. Much of the media attention has been
focused on the fact that the three Judges hearing our cases
were all appointed by Democrat Presidents: two by Barack
Obama and one by Bill Clinton. The media has often referred
to it as a "stacked court."
In response to that, I will tell you that my
team and I were fully prepared for whatever
came our way. That's where our preparation and
tremendous prayer support were invaluable!
You can imagine how encouraging it was to know that our
Amici Book, filled with the names of 76,593 patriotic
Americans who I knew were praying for us, was present with
me at the Counsel's Table throughout my oral argument. I
assure you, the prayerful support of so many Believers
was like the proverbial wind beneath my wings!
I literally felt the presence of God in that courtroom, and
know beyond all doubt that the battle is His!
Now we wait on the Judges' ruling, which I expect
within 45 days. May I ask that you continue
praying for this case? Please join us in asking
for God's blessings on the Judges' deliberations,
the work of their clerks, and the entire process.
Dottie, I must also continue to ask for your support
in defraying the extraordinary costs incurred in fighting
against ObamaCare's implementation. We will continue to
prepare this case for the eventual trip to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
And we have an enormous challenge in getting ready for
our two-week trial in the Santa Rosa County, Florida,
case in which we face the ACLU in early July, plus many,
many other current cases.

++This is our God-ordained mission.
If ObamaCare is upheld in court, where will the lines be
drawn on federal regulatory power? According to the Acting
Solicitor General, there are NO boundaries! The Obama
Administration is intently blurring those lines in every
arena including healthcare, marriage, freedom of speech,
freedom of religious expression, our economy, the environment,
and many other issues.
Every day I am reminded that Liberty Counsel
is standing at the epicenter of the battle for
the soul of our nation. We are fully engaged
in the defense of life, liberty and family!
The kinds of pressure we are experiencing from socialist
political demagogues, radical homosexual activists,
anti-Christian bigots, and those who simply want to cast
away all bonds of morality and decency, compels us to
take action together!
++The battle to stop ObamaCare is not over.
The court of appeals should issue a ruling within the next
45 days. From there the losing side will ask the U.S.
Supreme Court to take this case. I predict we could have
oral arguments at the High Court early in 2012 with a
decision by the end of June 2012!
As always, THANK YOU for all you do as a key member of the
Liberty Counsel team! And again, thank you for your
prayerful support throughout one of the most powerful
experiences I have yet had defending liberty, life, and family!
God bless you,
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

Counsel for our many ongoing cases, including our battle
with the ACLU in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Again, thank
you and God bless you!
