The world turned upside down.

We have let our republic degrade to the point where our elected officials, the ones who are Constitutionally charged with making the laws we live under, plead and cry to a single bureaucrat to change her whim.

WTF!

More fodder for the Supreme COurt hearing, now less than 6 weeks away. Let them continue with their arrogance. I think the administration is seeing where this is heading..and that’s why there’s talk of ‘walking it back’.

No exceptions, no exclusions, dump the whole damn thing and start over.

It should be simple if they do not do what you want them to do. You defund them and get rid of them.

Are you not outraged that a single commissar/bureaucrat has more legislative power than the entire Congress?

Does she have any obligation to respond to the letter? I don't see her giving a rat's patootee about what anyone else thinks on any of this 0bamacare stuff.

Is it any wonder that the congressional rating is 5%.
Replace them ALL.

"I think the administration is seeing where this is heading..and that’s why there’s talk of ‘walking it back’."

I don't see any evidence they are "walking it back". If this is a reference to a willingness to "compromise", Obama indicated that at Notre Dame in 2009. I would anticipate only that Obama will allow some technical compromise involving insurance payments etc. so the Church can save face. Other than that they are going to have to defeat him, or override a veto if the Repubs win the House and Senate, or count on winning a Supreme Court case; by which time Obama may have another seat on the Court. I'll try and think of other outcomes, but if you have any other, better, potential outcomes please state them and cheer me up.

I regret their having done so, but the Bishops signed on to this (as Santorum has stated)[Didn't Pelosi say, "we have to pass this so we can find out what's in it"?]

The only “walking it back” would be a short-term reprieve or set of exceptions meant to get them past November. And you can bet your bottom dollar they’d disappear within hours of him taking his second oath.

I hope the Church heirarchy and Catholic faithful are not stupid enough to engage Obama in any compromise or walk back. Such a humiliation will surely stick in The One’s craw like a fistful of overly crispy chitlins. He will come back at us twice as hard with extreme vengeance if re-elected.

Quite right.

The following is not directed at you; it is a reminder to us all. Notice that Congress is reacting to a groundswell of opposition. I have made it a recent point to myself that we the people are sovereign, that it is my duty to let my representative know what I think. Only then do we have a chance. I regard myself as a virtuous citizen in the 18th Century meaning of the word. There is no question my rep recognizes my name, he sees it 4-6 days per week. Our Congress-critters must know what the good people of America wish them to do.

I’ve heard some buzz about them walking it back, even though WH Carney-man has said otherwise.

I have to wonder how the Islamists feel about this? Are mosques and Islamic-esque charities forced to live by the same rules? You can bet your bippy that if they don’t like it, they’ll get a waiver or have themselves otherwise exempted....

Sovereign only as long as he does not surrender any jurisdiction to the UN or other NWO alphabet or take any extralegal measures to nullify our civil and God given rights.
