Answering questions from reporters today, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi previewed her party's likely legislative response should the Supreme Court strike down ObamaCare's health coverage requirement, suggesting that Democrats will look for a functional alternative to the mandate — a way to mandate insurance coverage without running afoul of the Constitution:

You have to eat your vegetables — you have to have the mandate in order for this to work from a financial standpoint…If Americans like the idea that they and their children cannot be deprived for a lifetime of health care insurance because of a pre-existing health care condition, then that will require some other action if that is to happen. And what would that be? There could be something passed in the Congress, similar to what we had originally in the House bill, which was a surcharge on the wealthy to pay for aspects of that … States can take their own actions.

40% of the country agrees with her. Another 15% aren’t sure what they think — about anything.

All of the wealthy couldn’t pay for this. What crap!

Meh. If she wants to submit DOA bills to pander to her constituency, that’s her right. Doesn’t seem like much of a way to spend her autumn years, though.

Have to confess I don't know exactly what "bat guano" is,

It's what comes out of the south end of a northbound bat.

Bat guano = bat turds. She’s starting to give Tzipi Livni competition in the female division of Biggest Flake in Politics Today contest. Tzipi might just have to settle for runner up.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder." Admit it, ExTexasRedhead, you took that one from Michael Savage. (LOL!!!)
