The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati said the state does not have to comply immediately with that order by U.S. District Judge William J. Haynes Jr., who ruled that enrollees were illegally removed from the managed-care program for the poor lazy, disabled criminal, and uninsured unqualified.

It's reassuring to see a court issue a sensible opinion that respects the law. Haynes' order was simply legislation from the bench. It was his opinion that paring the TennCare rolls would create an "undue hardship" notwithstanding that his opinion was in direct contradiction with what a duly elected legislature authorized as a matter of state law.

So according to you, the poor are "lazy," the disabled are "criminal," and the uninsured are "unqualified." What don't you finish your thought and suggest that we put all these lazy, criminal, unqualified people in concentration camps and be done with it?

If Charles Dickens were alive, he's have a field day with you.
