The facts are that the bill has passed, the Democrats are in control and won the election. Obama is doing exactly as he said he would do and will continue to push his stuff thru. That is reality....Social Security, and Medicare were also fought thru the courts with no impact to speak of... We still have both. So consider that fact as well.
The possibility of these suits amounting to any if much success is very slim as others here and through out the legal community have stated. Though it's a good show for republicans to take a stand perhaps for a time, the reality is a lot of money will be spent, time and legal haggling which I believe might be spent better otherwise.....
Amnesty is already coming down...cap and trade soon to follow...climate change is not as dead as we hoped. And most of all there is an election soon. So these suits will be a drag on what might be better looking at these other issues we can still do something about.
Better also that the details of this bill that need revising and correcting be done thru the congress even to get a small change in what is coming. Let the republicans we voted for stand there and fight for what can be changed in the bill...while we prepare and get ready to win this next election process.
Just how I am looking at the reality of the situation now.
That was my thought, too.
Where the hell is Mississippi in this fight? Guess I’ll be moving back home to Alabama!
I dunno. I sense that this bill is different in kind, and that the lawsuits stand a chance of success.
I heard someone on Fox say after all the lower courts, then to appeal to Supremes may take up to 2 years.
I’m with you on that...Mike Cox is one of the good ones.
When I saw Michigan was on the list, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
No they are all dressed in their SEIU purple saying “we did this for you.....”
I believe Arnold is on record with objecting to some of the features like the Corkhusker kickback....
Have been trying to email NC Attorney General Roy Cooper but his web page is down - has been all day.
Won’t have a chance if it takes too long a time.
what can I get?
Legal Ping. You may want to get involved, counselor.
Thats the whole idea. By the time it goes to the USSC We’ll be too busy fighting the other heads of the Hydra.
I might be wrong, but that language in and of itself is probably unconstitutional, which may be enough in and of itself to kill the whole bill...
I just wrote to and left a big Thank You to my Atty. General McCollum. I encourage other Floridians to do the same.

Hasn't this been upheld (or at least never struck down before) by SCOTUS? Virtually every bill has sweetheart deals. And say they do recognize them as a violation. What next? All it would do is strike that particular handout.
I just don't think this is the best way to attack this bill Constitutionally.
