The leadership of the cave party, formally the republican party, do not have the ba**s.

I know of four little 1st grade girls who do have more ba**s than them who will do a better job.

Actually, this doesn’t seem all that complex to me. There are many employees of these small businesses who now will not have health insurance from their employer as promised by the law, because Obama has let their employer off the hook in terms of meeting the mandate’s requirements for another year. There will certainly be a large subset of those affected employees who can show that their personal health care expenditures would be far lower under a plan provided by their employer (as required by the law) than under an exchange plan that they pay for out of their own pocket, even with subsidies. Every one of those employees has standing to sue.

In other words, in helping businesses to avoid the employer mandate, Obama is hurting the workers who the mandate was supposed to help.

>> This is consumer fraud ...

And it was forced on the Country and abruptly reeked havoc on many financially and health-wise.

Impeached? He could behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say “it’s a black thing” and accuse you of being a racist tea bagging rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of “awesome” spice rub they’re using and beg for more of that “delicious” macaroni & cheese and a refill of their Kool-aid.

"You've got to show three things: you've got to show that the plaintiff has suffered an injury in fact--a concrete, particularized harm that's fairly traceable to the conduct of the defendent, and it is capable of being redressed or remedied by the court."

Standing is with every taxpayer that will have to bail out this manadate which effecively breaks the economic intent (however flawed) of the law. I think any additional costs to the taxpayer or increase to the deficit should be sufficient standing. the court could provide the remedy it failed to do the first time it looked at the ACA and declare it unenforceable and dishonest.

Constitutionally only the congress has the legal right to modify the law or to repeal it. Which one do you think I support?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Mike Lee has essentially just said that a lawless president (and I use that term loosely) can be as lawless as he wants, because nobody has “standing” to stop him.

We already know nobody had the b-—s to stop him, but “standing”? Seriously?

The US Constitution provides the remedy. Unfortunately there is no way the Senate would remove him from office with RATs in the majority. I also suppose there is now way the House would impeach him, given the majority of the majority lacks the testicular fortitude to do so.

BULL!

Just have the House Sergeant of Arms hand deliver a House Subpoena to B. Hussein Obama to appear before the full House to answer questions about his apparent Dereliction of Duty as Commander in Chief before, during and after the 2012 Benghazi Murders.

If B. Hussein Obama does not appear within the 24 hour time limit specified in the House Subpoena, then the Speaker of the House shall appoint a House Special Counsel with binding Subpoena powers to investigate the following scandals:
*Benghazi:
*NSA,
*IRS,
*and rewriting Federal Law by Obama, Holder, and others to be named later.

Very good paint. The employees who by law are supposed to have employer-provided coverage should have legal standing to sue.

No, see my comment above. The people who have standing are the employees of small businesses who are not receiving employer-provided health coverage because their employer has been excused from their responsibilities under the mandate. The courts do not give standing to someone who cannot show that they have already been harmed by an action, so it wouldn’t be sufficient to just go to the court and say “well I’m a taxpayer and we are going to have to bail this out.”

It is my understanding that Employers may lay off people but not attribute it to the costs of Zerocare? I thought that is what Rush said today but I was busy and listening with half an ear!

Wait long enough and the taxpayer will have standing too.

Courts are always absolutely sure that no one has standing.

They never, ever, however, explain who DOES have standing.

Har har, it’s a secret, yuck yuck yuck.

It’s called FU, America.
