The perfect ending to a day that saw support for repealing O-Care reach a new high in Rasmussen (58 percent) and support for The One reach a new weekly low in Gallup (47 percent). Turns out that fantastically long, mind-bogglingly complex bills which no one has actually read may create unintended consequences. Remember how they forgot to require insurers to cover kids with preexisting conditions? Oh, and they forgot initially to let young adults be covered by their parents insurance until Reid fixed it in reconciliation. Now this. Who knew that when Pelosi said theyd have to pass the bill so that people could find out whats in it, people meant Congress?
Id call it comedy gold if not for the obvious point raised by the Times: If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?
The law apparently bars members of Congress from the federal employees health program, on the assumption that lawmakers should join many of their constituents in getting coverage through new state-based markets known as insurance exchanges.
But the research service found that this provision was written in an imprecise, confusing way, so it is not clear when it takes effect.
The new exchanges do not have to be in operation until 2014. But because of a possible drafting error, the report says, Congress did not specify an effective date for the section excluding lawmakers from the existing program.

Beleive me, the dems knew exactly what they were doing. They included the wordage “saying” they too would be on nobamacare, so they can tell the sheeple exactly that. They will just convienently forget to mention that it is never scheduled to kickin.
Just like the USSR Politboro.
The end should read just like the rest of us. Typing on an iPhone sucks.
Later
They subcontracted the writing out to the same people that handle your computer tech support, in India.
The question should be posed as: "WHY haven't can we jailed them yet?"
Words fail me. I don’t know if it bothers me more that I’m not at all surprised by this, or that these morons are telling me how to live.
Frakin’ hilarious if true.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Wanna bet Rats will be among the first to sue to strike that down as “unconstitutionally vague”
This is an insult to computer tech support in India!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
hmmm....according to this thread,: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2489831/posts

so, I doubt Stern is going away, just getting out of the line of direct fire; I’m looking for him to show up somewhere related to the pro-illegal-amnesty camp is my guess
ROTFLMAO... its sort of like the Circle of Obourous - the Snake eating its own tail... (yea I know ick), only instead its the pooch screwing itself. Yes, the karmatic justice is as profound as the imposibility of the pooch doing the do...

As I’ve said so often, you can’t make these things up!
It’s like God is orchestrating a great drama and each act has comedy written all through it!
(Yes, I know, it’s trage-comedy....but actually since He is in control....it’s all good....even when there are times of apparent dismay.)
That would be positively poetic.
LOL! What wonderful poetic justice! :)
Isn’t it? LOLOL. Woohoo! Is God great - and funny - or what!
No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."
I do declayah ~ Obamakkkare and the non-severability clause reflected against the 27th Amendment ~ it cannot take effect until after the next election!
That's the whole law, not just the compensation part.
Glenn Beck thinks it was Apollo Alliance, which is funded by the Tides Foundation. AA was founded by Wade Rathke (ACORN)and Van Jones (former WH czar) and the Tides Foundation is funded by Mrs. Kerry and George Soros.
