So was Slavery

CNN's Brooke Baldwin had some stunningly ignorant analysis on Thursday about the opposition to ObamaCare in Congress.
"Congress passes a law, in this case ObamaCare, and then some of its members turn around and essentially try to sabotage it. Again, I repeat, it's a law. Certainly not the way the Founding Fathers maybe drew this thing up," she argued.
First of all, not a single Republican voted for ObamaCare in 2010, and many current Republicans opposing the law's funding were elected several months after ObamaCare passed, so no Republican voted for ObamaCare and now is trying to "sabotage" it.
Secondly, the opponents of ObamaCare are using their constitutional power to vote against funding of the law that is opposed by a majority of Americans, quite within the boundaries of how the Founding Fathers "drew this thing up."
Regardless, Baldwin targeted Republicans in Congress who "seem ready and willing to shut down ObamaCare, and if not, shut down the federal government." She seemed unaware of Democrats like Harry Reid who risk a shutdown by refusing to even negotiate over a bill that defunds the law.
This isn't the first time Baldwin's been obnoxious to opponents of the law. Hours after the Supreme Court voted to uphold most of ObamaCare as constitutional, Baldwin asked Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) if he was a "sore loser" for continuing to oppose the law.
Back in 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama voted against a bill funding soldiers in Iraq after he had said he wasn't "interested in playing chicken with the troops." He explained that he opposed the funding because no timetable was set for an end to the war.

The Founders would overturn it because it takes away the very last vestige of freedom in our persons and is CLEARLY unconstitutional. CLEARLY, john benedict arnold roberts.
What a gold-plated dunce! The Founders broke British law when they waged war to establish an independent country. Didn’t these people ever read U.S. history???
bump
no killing babies was law once...
The founders would never have allowed such an atrocity to become law to begin with; that’s what the “Boston tea party was about, and that’s what our tea party is about.
I say the Founding Fathers would oppose todays media, because they are a bunch of liars......
Fugitive Slave Act
Don’t they already?
So was Slavery
Good Lord, what a stunningly stupid woman. I’d venture to say this broad has absolutely no idea when the Revolutionary War began, the reasons for it, any of the key figures of it,(on both sides) or when and where any of the major battles were fought.
Forced gov insurance yeah a lot of freedom in that case.
Brooke Baldwin is a moron. The founding fathers would have
never let it become law in the first place. This dingbat
should be suing the college she graduated from for the
crappy education she got.
CNN = Cable Nutcase Network.
With liberals history starts the day they were born...
Prohibition was once "the law."
Jim Crow was once "the law."
IIRC, even amendments to the US Constitution can be/have been repealed - that Prohibition thingy.
ummmm, no... if the Founding Fathers wanted national healthcare, THEY WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS!!!
gawd these useful idiots will say the stupidest things in order to protect their Dear Leader and advance their agenda (communism, weakening of America, destroying America’s economy, advancing Islamicism/Muslim Brotherhood type terror gangs and regimes, etc.
was his leg tingling him when he made this bozo remark?
The Immigration and Naturalization Act is a law, as well.
There’s a border fence law they’re not funding as well, there’s immigration laws being totally ignored, and a an illegal presidential pen order giving ‘Dreamers’ citizenship...and they’re going to fly the law in front of us? What about the budget laws? We haven’t seen a budget in five years.
“The 2nd Amendment is the law, doesn’t stop the libs from trying to abolish it constantly”
Beat me to it. Libs are such shameless weasels.
