I have a liberal friend who always tells me that health insurance for everyone is a noble goal. My response to him has always been.........if it’s so necessary, why do you need the government to order you to buy it? That’s ALL Obamacare does. It orders everyone to buy insurance or face an additional tax. You can’t do it without Obama telling you to do it?

LOLGOP ‏@LOLGOP 6m Ted Cruz has spoken for 18+ hours. Some say it isn't a “filibuster.” Ted Cruz’s wife calls it “a typical Saturday.” lol

I can’t believe they’re still going....must have fallen asleep at 3am.... just woke up to Rand speaking. Glad he showed up again.

I can’t believe this isn’t at the top of the FR sidebar!

Rand is really good at this....you want to see a rebellion? make the federal employees, congress take it. Make the president take it, make CJ Roberts take it.

I was wondering what would happen if Harry Reid had a heart attack this morning. Maybe we could give his wife a sexy negligee and give him a heart attack. lol. Just kidding, of course. Nobody died and made me God either; Harry Reid will have a heart attack when God says. It would be a good reminder for any of these folks to know that justice is inevitable. They can get away with stuff here and now, but God is not mocked.

I like Rand’s “Obama should have a dose of his own medicine.” lol

Rand Paul just now:

Hey Prez > If Obamacare is so Great, why don’t YOU lead the country by being FIRST in line to sign up for Obamacare?

Leaders lead.

Dictators dictate.

I still like what one of them said last night, not sure if it was Cruz or Lee.........you can only get the votes of people whose premiums have decreased.

Cruz is absolutely impressive, he looks so fresh and no teleprompters, he’s not holding his nose in the air like Obama does.

Rand just called out just called out Roberts!

Yes he did. And the President and Federal workers. It is so refreshing to see senators being very direct about these issues instead of trying to nibble around the edges. Sadly, we rarely hear these challenges. I hope Paul and Cruz (and Rubio) can become leaders in using this approach. When we confront liberals head-on on these issues, we win.

You just go ahead and give up and surrender then, skypilot.
Go back to bed and hide under the covers.

Is Google messing with the live feed? I was watching from Drudge’s link just fine - no problems. All of a sudden it cuts off and I get a message to download Google Chrome because my device doesn’t support the video. The video I was watching for a half hour. Same message when I go directly to CSPAN2. Anyone else having this issue?

Paul basically said that he wanted Roberts to be subject to Obamacare, since he contorted the law (paraphrasing, but close) to determine it was constitutional. It was a direct "sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander" argument, but personalized to the SCCJ because of his part in making it law for the masses.

I have prayed for the Lord to give us one last chance to turn things around. To give those honorable people the strength to stand as a crier of warning to those who would destroy our once great nation! Praying is not weak, he listens and sometimes it changes the course of history.

Even if we don’t get the votes, it’s still a win-win for our side because when obamacare collapses (and it will), America will know who fought for us.
