SPLIT COURT IN NEED OF PRAYER!
Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action
The Supreme Court’s final decisions on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) will likely come down more to ideology than to the Constitution itself.
Why do I believe this to be true? As a constitutional attorney who has argued before the Supreme Court, and having spent countless hours in the litigation process against ObamaCare, I firmly believe that the mandates forcing individuals and employers to obtain or provide government-defined health insurance are patently unconstitutional.
As I wrote in my book Take Back America, Congress does not have unlimited authority to regulate private actions. If the Constitution does not give Congress the power to act, then Congress cannot act. Congress clearly lacks the constitutional authority to force individual to have – or businesses to provide – health insurance.
That leads us back to the Justices’ ideologies – their views of the letter of the law as contained in the Constitution coupled with their political and social persuasions. It’s not the way it should be, but that’s the way it is.

++The next 48 hours are crucial!
With the oral arguments now complete, the nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court will now decide the fate of ObamaCare – and in doing so, their decision will affect every American.
But, as I said in my audio update last night, there is certainly precedence for the possibility that a Justice could change his or her mind after the preliminary vote, and even cause a shift of the majority by switching votes.
After listening to the three days of debate at the Supreme Court, I am convinced that this decision is going to be VERY CLOSE. In fact, I believe this Court is split. If the votes are cast along ideological lines, one Justice may decide the fate of ObamaCare and the history of our nation.
That’s why I am calling for you and all Liberty Counsel partners to be in prayer over the next 48 hours – and until the final decisions are released in June.
These Justices, while holding a tremendous amount of power and responsibility in the judiciary of our nation, are human beings who deserve to be lifted up in prayer in such a momentous situation!

I am more convinced than ever that we MUST pray for the Supreme Court – and to be delivered from the anti-life, anti-liberty ObamaCare law!
My prayer is, “God, please direct the minds of these nine Justices as they reach their decisions. Lord, deliver us from ObamaCare and its abortion mandates promoting the shedding of innocent blood.” I hope you are joining me in that prayer.
God bless you!

P.S. The next 48 hours are crucial in the preliminary voting by the Supreme Court. I truly believe the future of our nation hangs in the balance in their ruling! Please continue praying for our nation, the nine Justices, and for deliverance from ObamaCare.
