Landmark Legal on Point in Obamacare Fight ? Mark America

Conservative Legal Advocacy

There really are not many conservative legal activists committed to standing up for Americans on such a consistent basis, by arguing against unconstitutional legislation or fighting to shine disinfecting daylight on government actions, but Landmark Legal Foundation is one of those rare organizations. Despite its small size, Landmark is currently involved in at least four major issues of interest, including efforts to stop the implementation of Obamacare, challenging the Obama-Holder Department of Justice interference with states on the issue of illegal immigration, stopping the EPA from usurping congressional authority in regulating ?greenhouse gases? like carbon dioxide, and defending the right of states like Wisconsin to limit collective bargaining for public sector employees and the unions that often drive the process to the detriment of tax-payers.

These are all obviously critical issues of significant importance to the American people, and if Landmark Legal seems familiar to you, it may because its president is none other than radio talk-show phenomenon Mark Levin.? More than being the conservative answer to groups like the ACLU, Landmark takes on cases from the standpoint of defeating the leftists? agenda in the courts where all too often, the left has been so successful in foisting its agenda on the American people.

If you?re not familiar with Levin, his radio show is certainly one great place to hear him speak, and you will learn a great deal about these and countless other critical issues from his show.? Levin served eight years in the Reagan Administration, including his service as the Attorney General?s chief of staff, and Deputy Solicitor of the Department of the Interior, along with many other roles.? He?s the author of several New York Times best-selling books including Liberty and Tyranny ? A Conservative Manifesto, Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover?s Story of Joy and Anguish, and Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America.? He also has a new book about to hit the shelves:? Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America, which is due out within two weeks.? I have pre-ordered this latest book myself, since I own the other three, and they were each worth every penny.

Landmark Legal?s actions on Obamacare is perhaps the most critical to conservatives, because that legislation threatens to fundamentally reorder American society toward a European healthcare delivery model, or worse in some estimates, and in so doing will create a vast new entitlement program complete with the infamous mandate about which you have read.? You can read the complete Landmark Legal amicus curaie brief filed in the Obamacare case here.? One of the most important questions raised by the brief is whether the court will recognize any limits on federal power, when the commerce or the necessary and proper clauses are concerned.? This is a vital question, because if the federal government can compel you to purchase health insurance, there is no effective limit, and the constitution is utterly meaningless.

Other arguments against Obamacare include the question of the severability of the insurance mandate, ultimately suggesting that since the Congress made no provision in the law for separating any particular clause, the whole law must be affirmed or rejected as a single entity.

These are the sorts of cases we conservatives care most fervently to see taken up, and I make contributions to this noble enterprise that fights on behalf of our individual liberties, and in the name of responsible, ethical, limited government open to examination by citizens.? Reviewing the material they provide to the courts in this form leads me to believe that there are few legal advocacy organizations on our side of the philosophical and political divide that do anything like the work of Landmark Legal.? You can read more extensively about Landmark and the cases in which it is currently involved at its website. It?s one of the very few conservative legal advocacy groups in existence, and its performance on other issues demonstrates its effectiveness despite its small size.? In this time of expansive governmental aggression against individual liberties, we need all the advocates for limited government we can get, and Landmark is definitely among the best.
