The following article has been taken from the May 12th issue of the Los Angeles Times. Although "The Coach's Team" rarely posts anything but original pieces by its own staff, I believe this information is important enough to be re-posted in its entirety for our readers. Please take note of the emphasized phrase below which makes it clear that, although the Obama Regime via the Department of Health and Human Services is in clear violation of the Constitution, the judge's ruling which correctly declares this to be the case "stands a good chance of being overturned on appeal." The reason? The D.C. Court of Appeals has been packed with liberal judges, nominated by Obama and approved by Senate Republicans.

House Republicans won Round 2 in a potentially historic lawsuit Thursday when a federal judge declared the Obama administration was unconstitutionally spending money to subsidize health insurers without obtaining an appropriation from Congress.
Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer broke new ground by ruling the GOP-controlled House of Representatives had legal standing to sue the president over how he was enforcing his signature healthcare law.

So?
Just starting. We are a couple years behind Venezuela. Our Supreme Court is corrupt. Our executive is corrupt. And our Senate is corrupt. They will all be thrown out soon. These corrupt Western leaders are getting kicked out of countries all over the planet. Argentina, Austria, Brazil. Won’t be pretty when it happens here. I refuse to give this corrupt terrorist sponsering government another dime and I will die defending my right. The DNC crooks who are stealing the nomination for Hillary, just had to run for their lives. Romney will soon have to leave the country for good.
Excellent factual — and occasionally anatomically explicit — 10 minute rant on obozo’s parentage and other matters of legitimate inquiry.
Near the end, the Rev offers a much needed scientific service to the country I personally wish someone — ANYONE — had thought to perform over 7 years ago as it would certainly have spared the nation 7 years of the unmitigated INSANITY now reaching into your childrens’ school lavatories!

PS: Watch it ASAP! Although obozo has done most of his damage already (and is STILL at it), Google (owner of YouTube) MAY pull it when some obozo flunky calls it to their attention!
The administration has told the insurance companies that if they are forbidden by the courts and can no longer send them monies that they should sue the government and they will settle the suits for the amount of money they require.
