Supreme Court Revives ObamaCare Fight

Liberty Counsel
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman

The U.S. Supreme Court granted Liberty Counsel’s Petition for Rehearing in the ObamaCare case of Liberty University et al v. Geithner. 
 
The High Court’s ruling says that Liberty Counsel’s “Day in Court” against ObamaCare is far from over!  In fact, it’s just beginning – again – at the federal appellate level. 
 
With their recent ruling, the Supreme Court directed that our case be reheard at the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia. 
 
++ObamaCare MUST be struck down!
 
Congress clearly exceeded its power by forcing every employer to provide federally mandated insurance. But even more shocking is the abortion mandate, which collides with constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and rights of conscience. 
 
Also in question is whether the First Amendment Free Exercise of Religion Clause and the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) have been violated by both the employer and the individual “abortion mandate” that has been exposed during ObamaCare’s implementation.
 
++How we got another shot at taking down ObamaCare in court.
 
The fact that a highly technical and narrow ruling by the Supreme Court in June of this year found the President’s healthcare “reform” law to be permissible under the Constitution as a tax did not settle the issues contained in our original lawsuit. The Court ruled (wrongly in my opinion) that Congress has the authority to pass the individual mandate as a tax.
 
But many issues were not decided that were contained in our case that was pending at the Supreme Court. That was why I felt we must file a petition for rehearing, and is likely the reason why the Supreme Court ordered the federal court of appeals to hear our arguments.
 
The legal battle against ObamaCare is among the most historic pieces of litigation ever fought in the United States federal judiciary – and Liberty Counsel’s lawsuit is now on the forefront of all judicial efforts to have the law overturned! 
 
This may well pave the way for the case to return to the High Court in 2013 – before the law’s full implementation in 2014.

Now our case has been given new life!  
 
I am asking that you stand with me, the Liberty Counsel Litigation Team, and tens of thousands of your fellow patriotic Americans who REFUSE to allow the Left to turn America into just another socialist state!
 
What a blessing to know that you and many, many others will be there with me, standing with us and praying for our success!  
 
To make this possible, we are compiling another powerful Amici Book, which is Latin for “Book of Friends.”  
 
I’m asking you to join with other engaged citizens to sign the 2013 Amici Book, which I will once again place prominently at our Counsel’s Table…. directly across the aisle from Attorney General Eric Holder’s team from the Department of Justice (DOJ)!

This way, you can join me in that courtroom! 
 
Please take a moment right now to sign the Amici Bookand declare that you will personally stand with me as I once again take on the daunting challenge of battling with the Obama administration and the Department of Justice. 
 
++Our legal efforts to stop ObamaCare have once again moved into high gear. 
 
I assure you, we will be fully prepared from a legal standpoint.  But more importantly, I will be walking into court knowing that many, many concerned citizens are standing with me – the equivalent of two packed baseball stadiums or more.  That’s one measure of why your personal support has such value!
