New promise: Lawsuits to challenge 'Obamacare'

New promise: Lawsuits to challenge 'Obamacare': "Obamacare, as critics have dubbed the president's plan to socialize health care, will be flooded with lawsuits if it ever becomes law, according to an organization that works to protect rights and liberties of Americans.

In an alert issued this week, Liberty Counsel, run by President Mathew Staver, promised his organization 'is prepared to challenge the constitutionality of the bill since Congress has no authority to require every person to obtain insurance coverage and has no authority to fine employers who do not provide the coverage standards that are required in the bill.'

'In addition,' he warned, 'the bill still requires citizens to pay a fine if they don't maintain insurance for themselves and their families.'

The promise came just before the U.S. Senate approved its version of the health-care reform plan. The House has adopted a version that must be reconciled with the Senate's before moving to the president's desk. Among major sticking points are a government-run 'option,' as well as abortion funding, which has drawn strong opposition from the public.

But like demanding that everyone drive a blue car or watch a specific television network, the concept of mandatory health insurance set by the government just doesn't appear in the U.S. Constitution, Staver argues.

He told WND that if the plan gets to the point of being signed into law by Obama, 'We will sue.'

He said Liberty University will be a plaintiff along with other groups or individuals."
