Every time we see the media lie and hide behind this talking point…:

‘Obamacare is a law passed by congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court’.

….we will highlight the falsehood and update with recent events.

This week NBC’s David Gregory used it in an interview of Senators’ Dick Durbin-(D) and Rob Portman-(R):

Let me just raise this issue about ObamaCare, because I want to come back to that. One of the issues is that for conservatives, this has been such a huge issue, even though the law’s been passed and upheld by the court, they still argue, “No, there’s a basis to really try to make it better, to replace it, to get rid of it.” – David Gregory on Meet The Press

FIRST WATCH THIS VIDEO:  [<— It has not been seen enough]

The leftist usurpers and their willfully blind media cohorts, love to bring up the insufferable talking point(s) about Obamacare being the law of the land. Passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by The Supreme Court; as if this baseline is the principle behind their “get over it” talking point.
You will see this set of talking points in essentially every argument against the current popular demand to defund, delay or otherwise modify Obamacare.

So what wee want to do here is focus on that specific “principle”, and just remind everyone of some simple facts about how this “law” came to be in the first place.  We have tens of thousands of newly awakening young people recognizing what danger this Obamacare construct represents.   Those people may or may not understand how this entire thing got put together.
First, Obamacare was not passed as a regular legislative construct. Not.Even.Close.
Most of you will easily remember exactly how it came to be. In the Fall of 2009, as the National Healthcare was being debated, an awakened electorate began to recognize just how horrid the concept being sold actually was.
We witnessed day after day, after day, of Democrat special interest groups (unions) constructing the concept of our healthcare. As each day passed, opposition grew.
Subsequently, Harry Reid needed to keep all the Senators away from their constituents so they did not hear the voice of the people. Unlike the House Dems, who were flogged at numerous town halls, Reid “sequestered” the entire Senate and kept them in session over the holiday break of 2009. He would not allow them to pause, return home, and then resume debate and construct in January.

Harry Reid was doing everything he could to buy votes for the horrible legislation, even from his own party members. Remember this is when the “Louisiana Purchase”, the “Nebraska Cornhusker Kickback” and “the Gatorade” deals were struck to buy the votes of Mary Landrieu (LA) , Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Bill Nelson (D-FL), respectively.
This further outraged an engaged electorate who saw what was going on. Then, at 1:32am on Christmas Eve, Harry finally held enough people to put a construct vote through with normal order (60 votes – 58 Democrats and the 2 Independents). No Republicans.
The House of Representatives was entirely controlled by Dems and Speaker Pelosi.
The majority of Americans did not want it then, as they do not want it now. But left wing progressives don’t give a hoot about the majority of We The People – their own ideology rules supreme.
The House had passed a bill, and the Senate had now manipulated their way to pass a bill. But both versions needed to be passed by each other house to become law.
The Senate bill did not stand a chance in the house because it openly funded abortion (the Blue Dog Dem Stupak coalition opposed), and it held all those *now toxic* handouts previously mentioned. The House Bill could not pass the Senate (as constructed) because it did not have Abortion coverage (Stupak Amendment) and did not have the carve outs demanded by Landrieu, Nelson and Nelson.
Neither bill could pass the other Chamber because of the construct. Even though both the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats.   [*Note* Remember in 2008/09 there existed a now extinct species of Democrat called a ‘Blue Dog’.  These were moderate, or conservatively leaning Democrats.   They have subsequently ALL been removed from the House of Representatives in the Tea-Party shellacking vote of 2010 which returned the House to control of the Republican party.]
Then on 12/29/09 a new electorate awakening happened. People realized the Ted Kennedy seat was a possible way to stop the 60 vote threshold.  This would block the House Bill from passing through the Senate and becoming law.
Candidate Scott Brown became the possible 41st vote against Obamacare – Millions, and I do mean MILLIONS, flocked to send money to his campaign. His opponent Martha Coakley was caught off guard; she had taken a vacation to the Bahamas with her family for the entire holiday season. By the time she returned on January 3rd, all hell had broken loose. Brown had millions and millions of dollars infused into his efforts, and people from around the nation were sending money, making calls and campaigning on his behalf.
On January 19th, 2010 he stunningly won the election and sent a shock wave through the liberal opposition. A Republican had won Kennedy’s seat with one mandate from America, “Kill Obamacare”.
So the Massachusetts Dem coalition petitioned to delay his seating; They did, but they could not go so far as to give that Healthcare vote to the Dems because of the sheer shock wave of losing the Kennedy Seat to a Republican.
As a direct consequence of Scott Brown’s win, Harry Reid dropped regular order, then scrapped the Senate Bill entirely, thereby eliminating the carve out issue, and manipulated a new strategy:
“Deem and Pass“.
Then begin “reconciliation” with a simple majority.
Meaning Deem the House of Representatives bill passed as presented to the Senate, and then use a senatorial budgetary gimmick called “reconciliation” to add all the Senate needs to it with only 51 votes – a simple majority.  Additionally, and simultaneously, not allowing a single Republican amendment to it.
So who was the “terrorist”, the “extremist”, the antagonist then?
This insufferable origin is what the media fails to note when they say “it’s law”.
Yeah, It’s law, but only by manipulation of legislative construct. “Trickery” !
Because of this it was flawed from the outset, it was highly partisan, it was VERY controversial, and it did not pass the 3/5 majority vote rule for Senate Passage. It was passed *despite* the majority of Americans being opposed to it. Period.
Second, the entire construct was a lie. It was sold to the public as *not a tax* by both the President, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Repeatedly the American people were told the financing of the bill would not be a tax. A lie.

Because as soon as the challenges to it came to the Supreme Court; it could only be upheld as a law *if* the fees and penalties within it were considered taxes. If it were not a tax, it would not be constitutional because of the violation of the constitution’s commerce clause.
It had to be a tax to be upheld. That, indeed, is what Chief Justice Roberts decided; again to the angst of the majority of the American people.
Thirdly, the cost was a lie. It was sold to the public as a bill costing, according to the CBO (Congressional Budget Office), roughly $850 billion. This too was manipulated, but the amount was repeated ad infinitum as a selling point.
The cost of Obamacare is now, according to the same CBO, estimated to be almost $3 TRILLION.
So when you see, or hear the Dem/Media talking point about this being a law passed by congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court, remember:
(1) It was passed by legislative manipulation, not regular order. (2) It was signed by the President only after he promised an Executive Order banning abortion (Bart Stupak Amendment) which he subsequently allowed to expire. (3) It was only upheld by the Supreme court as a Tax which is directly contradictory to what the Administration promised. and (4) It costs three times more than originally promised when passed.
Before Passage of the law the proponents of Obamacare said:
1) Obamacare will cut the deficit – It will not, to the contrary it will explode the deficit.
2) Obamacare would be crafted in the open on CSPAN – It was not the entire thing was constructed in secrecy. “You have to pass it to find out what’s in it”.
3) Obamacare will cover everyone – It will not, there are estimated to be 30 million still uninsured even after full rollout.
4) Obamacare will be available for review online 5 days prior to signing – Never happened.
5) If you like your current plan you can keep it – Hundreds of thousands of people are losing their current coverage daily.
6) Obamacare will not cover abortions – It does, and it funds Planned Parenthood as a Healthcare provider.
7) Obamacare will not cover illegals – It does, there is no citizenship requirement for Obamacare coverage.
8) Obamacare is not a tax – It is, the only way it could be found remotely constitutional was if the mandate was considered a tax.
9) Obamacare would be bi-partisan – Not.Even.Close, not a single Republican amendment permitted. 100% passed by Democrats in 09′.
10) Obamacare would create millions of new jobs – To the contrary, the healthcare sector of the economy is laying people off for the first time in decades.
11) Obamacare would cover the 35–40 million currently uninsured – Yes. However, it’s estimated that an additional 30 million who currently have healthcare would now be without it specifically because of Obamacare. So no gain, just a switch in population.
Oh yeah, and it’s been upheld by the Supreme Court – Yeah, so what? As mentioned that was only possible by interpreting the law to be a tax, and even still the Fugitive Slave Act was a law challenged to SCOTUS and slavery was upheld in the Dred Scott case. So what’s that point about?
Thank YOU.
