Now, why would Republicans want to "save" these Democrats from losing the support of their constituencies in their Districts by sponsoring legislation that would only "rescue" the Administration and so-called "progressives" from having to incur the wrath of youth and Independents all over the nation who now are waking up and seeing the consequences of what has been wrought by their "rulers"?

Republicans already have a reputation from wresting victory from the jaws of defeat. Don't do it again, please.

Justice Roberts' next-to-last paragraph in his ruling on ACA reads:

"The Framers created a Federal Government of limited powers, and assigned to this Court the duty of enforcing those limits. The Court does so today. But the Court does not express any opinion on the wisdom of the Affordable Care Act. Under the Constitution, that judgment is reserved to the people." - Justice C. J. Roberts

Why not let "the People" decide on the law through the upcoming electoral process in 2014 and 2016, as that law was enacted and now impacts their lives, liberties, and property.

To "rescue" it is to prolong their misery and make its consequences to the elected representatives who voted for it lighter.

As for Landrieu and Hagan, "the People" of your states, as Hagan says, do deserve better than a government-imposed and taxpayer-funded collaboration between Democrats and insurance companies to come between themselves and their doctors and health care providers!

What the Senators really are saying is that the government must get its coercive "redistribution" mechanism working more efficiently than did the web site!

They know, as do their fellow Democrats, that the youthful victims may begin to see that the hand in their pockets is not their own voluntary charity, but that of the coercive hand of force.

There was, perhaps, an unintended, but telling, remark within the so-called statements of "apology" in the NBC interview this week.

With regard to Democratic "progressives'" intent with the so-called "Affordable" Care Act, the President claimed it was to cause people to choose its provisions:". . . because they want 'em, as opposed to because they're forced into it." - Barack Obama, NBC Interview, 11-07-13

The biggest lie of them all is this telling statement--else, why would there be a "penalty" (uh, a "tax," as Chief Justice Roberts calls it) for failure to participate??

Contrast Obama's statement with the honest wisdom of America's First President:

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like a fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." - George Washington

Youth of America, you were not asked, were you, if you "want" that added expense for insurance you probably will not need for several years? Bet you could use your earnings in those early years for getting your first apartment, your first car, etc., etc. But, no, you are being "forced" to use your hard-earned dollars to pay for other people's assorted unhealthy lifestyles, or the myriad of other "forced" coverages you don't need or want!

"However combinations or associations of [factions] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government - destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." - George Washington
