Sebelius dismisses ruling in Virginia suit against healthcare reform

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius on Monday downplayed a federal judge's decision allowing Virginia's challenge to healthcare reform to continue, arguing it was merely a procedural move that has no bearing on the underlying issues.

"We remain confident that the case is solid," Sebelius told reporters during a phone call on the reform law's effects on Medicare spending.

Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, a liberal consumer group, echoed that message Monday, saying the ruling "has no effect on the validity of the health reform law."

“Her qualifications include:

Sebelius served as executive director and chief lobbyist for the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association from 1977–1986.”

Which qualifies her to issue silly statements and appear like an out of touch member of Zero’s Clown-shoe posse.......

No, wait.........

I do not believe the Secretary of Health CAN dismiss this.

Is she speaking for Obama? We all know the decision does not PLEASE her but she cannot dismiss it.

The title doesn't mean dismiss in a legal sense, it refers to the snide manner in which Sebelius treats the judge's ruling -- dismissive, brush aside, "Eh, not worth my notice, we're right no matter what."

How about using this as an unofficial headline clarification so that we can move on:

'Sebelius Dismissive of VA Lawsuit Ruling Against Healthcare Reform'

I posted before reading your comments -- a more proper title would have been: Sebelius dismissive of ruling in Virginia suit against healthcare reform

But look at us, expecting proper, comprehensive English from a journalist, news article.

"We remain confident that the case is solid," Sebelius told reporters>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Translation:

"This was a preliminary motion and so the same judge won't try the case,we have shopped the right leftist judge and know that the fix is in."

The case is NOT solid,especially if they get into due process issues on how the bill was drafted, ( Republicans locked out of commmitte, bill drafted bt the white house), and tha fact tat it was voted without being read.

Yeah, solid case alight! /s

Sebelius dismisses the will of the people: 57% of American citizens dismiss Obamacare... and they will ‘dismiss’ Congress in a few weeks.

The word “dismiss” in article’s headline is a very poor choice of words.

It was careful choice of words, misleading, but very deliberate. An attempt to deceive is a very good definition of a lie. The MSM does this all the time. Since most people only see the headline and it's what drives the responses ot a google search, I don't know how the truth can ever overcome the lies of the left.

Looks like this headline is going way over the top of people heads. She dismisses the case in the sense that what the judge did is of no concern to her. Its like dismissing a pestering child that is bothering you. You pay it no mind and ignore it. A little less literal thinking goes a long way.

Exactly! Precisely and spot on.

I see that thehill was even embarrassed by it as it is no longer headlined. Another BETTER TITLED LESS ARROGANT article is now headlined.

Hussein and his poodles do NOT give a damn about the American people’s opinion, the federal judiciary, or the rule of the law...or the Constitution.

They are bent on destroying all of the above. Make no mistake.

Agreed. They will now cherry pick and use Obama’s full power to make sure the next judge favors there way, Chicago mob style no matter who has to get a dead fish; is ALL this article really means.
