No I don’t think Zero gives a damn how many amendments or provisions of the Constitution he violates, his sole desire is the denigration and destruction of America. That’s hope and change Zero wants, to take America from a strong world leader to a a colony of islam.

“Unions want members to be eligible for the same federal subsidies available to low-income workers in the new health exchanges. The White House has resisted that remedy, saying the law doesn’t allow it.”

So what? Since when has that ever stopped Obama from doing anything? I expect he’ll eventually have Sibelius simply give the unions whatever they want and dare Congress to stop him, which of course they won’t have the balls to do.

"if Obama and Sebelius give the unions a subsidy"

Spending must be Congressionally approved.

In the old America.

As of this moment in time, I officially have created the Information Technology Specialist Union, Local 101011. While I only have one member, I’m hoping to recruit. I hereby am entitled to a subsidy, just like Trumka’s boys.

This will go back to the SCOTUS. If Roberts sides with the Gov. again, it’s beyond a doubt he has been compromised.
