Gotta give Gruber credit for openness. He's saying what the other Democrats only think or say behind the cameras.

“You can’t do it politically. You just literally can not do it. Transparent financing...I mean this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay so it was written to do that. ....Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever but basically that was really really critical to get this thing to pass...”

There are a few videos of this guy saying things that should in themselves cause repeal. The sad thing is somehow, someway it will be deemed inadmissible.

Let’s say it like it is. “Lack of transparency” is a euphemism for “lying”. So what he said is, “I would rather have this law (Obamacare) by lying to the American people and getting it, then not lying and have them reject it”. We all knew it was true about the democrats that passed this monstrosity including Obama, but it’s amazing to see someone come right out and say it.

I'm no lawyer, but I believe you are right. It's a fraud on the public, but not a fraud on the Court (which pisses them off), because it's "just his opinion." Since he was a major architect of the plan, any normal person would think this was vitally important, but it isn't in the Congressional Record of deliberations, not in the law. He said "F You" to American citizens, but I guess that's free speech, not evidence.

Anytime you see the word “Plenary” you know it is a leftwing conference.
