Private Citizen Sues The Feds

"A specially-developed net attached to two boats has been designed to slip under a whale, enabling it to be hauled from immediate danger," he said. "This method can be used for large animals and is very effective." But conditions were worsening, with high winds cheap north face jackets and seas, and attempts to refloat the whales had to be postponed until Tuesday. "Although we were unable to move the surviving whales into open water today, we are hoping conditions will improve over the next few days," Arthur said, adding that north face jackets cheap the whales were tired but still flapping their fins and blowing water. "The weather conditions are against us at present, but managed properly, these animals can survive at least a few days." Another problem in Strahan is its treacherous narrow channel, known as Hells Gates, through which the whales must pass to get back into deeper water.

The Obamacare Class Action (OCA) is a Federal lawsuit challenging the Constitutionality of the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) on the basis that Congress does not have the authority under Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution to regulate the health care industry and is specifically barred from doing so by the 10th Amendment.

The OCA is unique among the many lawsuits filed against the PPACA. The 22 States that have joined lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of PPACA direct their challenges at the individual mandate to purchase health insurance and the unequal treatment of different groups. While we agree that these aspects of the PPACA are unconstitutional, and we encourage the States challenges, the OCA challenges the PPACA in its entirety.

The OCA lawsuit uses the PPACA as an opportunity to revisit the Commerce Clause precedent that has given Congress free reign to regulate all aspects of American life. The Constitution clearly intended Congress’ authority to be limited to specific subject matter. The 10th Amendment of the Constitution emphasized this point. The OCA lawsuit seeks to re-establish the original meaning of the enumerated powers and of the 10th Amendment by re-establishing that the Commerce Clause was intended to allow Congress only the authority to prevent one state from creating trade barriers to doing business with another state.

Over 25,000 individual Americans and businesses have signed up to join as plaintiffs in the OCA. They include physicians’ groups, tanning businesses, restaurant chains, law firms, and insurance providers. The OCA has provided them a voice and a clear path of action to overturn Obamacare.

Lead counsel for the OCA is Van Irion, a Constitutional attorney, admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. He’s also a Patent attorney, adjunct Law Professor at the University of Tennessee, former medical researcher, published scientist, and a Republican candidate for Congress in Tennessee’s 3rd Congressional District. He’s been interviewed on Fox News by Greta Van Susteren and Judge Andrew Napolitano about the OCA lawsuit. Videos of those interviews can be seen HERE. Van has been endorsed by Congressman Ron Paul in his Congressional campaign.

Van is handling the case pro bono and covering all the court costs personally. Currently he is drafting a motion for preliminary injunction to immediately stop the enforcement of Obamacare. It is critical to the success of this motion that every American that opposes Obamacare sign on to the lawsuit. A Federal judge might dismiss a few thousand plaintiffs, but would have a very difficult time ignoring hundreds of thousands of plaintiffs.
