Liberty Legal Foundation has begun one battle in defense of our Constitution (the Obamacare Class Action) and is preparing to start another in our war to take our country back from those that oppose our Founding Principles.
More than 25,000 Americans from all 50 states are named as individual plaintiffs in our nationwide Obamacare Class Action lawsuit (OCA). That lawsuit takes direct aim at the Supreme Court’s 68 year-old misinterpretation of the “commerce clause.”
In 1942 the Supreme Court essentially eliminated all limitations on Congressional authority by interpreting the commerce clause in a way that clearly defies the original intent of our Founding Fathers. This gross misinterpretation caused the cancerous growth of our Federal government that we’ve been experiencing since World War II. If successful, the OCA will correct this Supreme Court precedent and re-establish the limitations placed upon Congress by our Constitution.
Liberty Legal Foundation’s second battle will challenge the Federal government’s failure to secure our borders. The Obama administration’s recent lawsuit against Arizona raises the opportunity to challenge erroneous Supreme Court precedent on several issues including state sovereignty, standing doctrine, and pre-emption doctrine. As part of its lawsuit against Arizona, the Obama administration argued that Arizona’s law is pre-empted by Federal law. Liberty Legal Foundation will be pointing out that pre-emption begins with the presumption that Federal law is being enforced. The mere existence of Federal law, coupled with the Federal government’s explicit refusal to enforce its own law, should not prevent States from enforcing Federal law. Unfortunately, the District Court in Arizona has enjoined Arizona from enforcing Federal law. Liberty Legal Foundation will be engaging this battle with the aim to correct the District Court’s error and to force the Federal government to enforce Federal immigration law.
This war will take time and it will require your support. If you agree that our Constitution is being ignored by the Federal government and want to take an active role in reversing flawed legal precedent, please support Liberty Legal Foundation either directly or by joining the OCA.
