Where are the conservative organizations that inundate me with email and junk mail for donations. Liberal groups by now would have filed a dozen lawsuits if their ox was gored!!!!

The question now is whether opponents will challenge this move in court.

We can only hope&hallip; but we might get another ACA-ruling that makes no sense whatsoever.

IT wasn’t a “snafu.” It was a poison pill put in by Grassley. And it is the LAW. If Obamacare is good enough for the citizens of the US, it is good enough for Congresscritters and their staffs.

These are the kind of things that lead to armed revolt.

You see these conservative groups are really about two things (a) getting money off of people that support them, and (b) keeping things the same so they don't fix whatever (a) is that justifies them requesting money.

They passed it and still don’t know what’s in it.

These people are turds in a punchbowl.

Just got word at my job today. Next year, we will have to pay 100% of doctor’s visits, hospital stays. and prescriptions-THEN file a claim for 80% reimbursement.

Thanks obama!

Glad I dumped this last year and went on my wife’s insurance. The only consolidation is I work with 98% obama voters and they are getting what they supported.

Something like $25 million is going to be paid to Equifax to verify income of those asking for subsidies. I’m sorry for people who knew this was a stupid law. But I’m laughing at all the liberals who are screaming bloody murder. hee hee

TOUGH~~~~

Queen Nancy told them they would have to sign it to find out what was in it.

US mere mortals saw the idiocy in this statement but WE don’t represent the ‘people’ WE ARE THE PEOPLE.

The real shame is WE THE PEOPLE sent basically the same bunch of idiots BACK to their jobs instead of giving them a swift kick to the curb....

The so called IDIOTS that are in the hallowed halls of Congress screamed BOHICA in unison and dutifully bent over and signed the bill.

NOW they are parsing it (took them what 4(?) years or so to get this far???must be one helluva long document seeing they are only getting to themselves)

The real beauty of it is THEY ARE GOING ON VACATION.

If BONER had any guts, gonads or whatever he would demand they stay and fix it and many other things.

When the Libs start crying, moaning and groaning, tell them to go and the R’s will be given a chance to fix things.

BUT, Boner and the so called R’s would end up changing nothing even if the D’s went home.

There was an old ‘chestnut’ about a couple of teams in a football game, tied 0-0 in the 4th ‘sudden death OT’, and one team walked off the field in protest.
TEN plays later, the other team kicked a field goal.

Well, a lot of deals were made, but it's looking more and more like it's all done.

Any congresscritter who votes to exempt themselves and their staffs is VIOLATING THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE.

To KNOWINGLY do it is TREASON!

Nope, the 14th Amendment's Section 1 is binding on the states, not the FedGov:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

To KNOWINGLY do it is TREASON!

Unless it is levying War against them [the several States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort it isn't treason. Period.

Read the fine print, they did not even read it before they shoved it down the voters throats.

I got one yesterday from some outfit calling its self "U.S. Citizens Association" asking me to join in asking Chief Justice Roberts to put an end to this madness.....the nerve of them when CJ Roberts gave live to all this madness. Nancy Pelosi rammed this bilge down the throat of congress, and now we are watching Washington dodging their laws again...This time I agree with them, I don't want Obamacare either its totally toxic! Leave me out.

The courts will just slap down whoever attempts to take it to court for lack of 'standing'.
