Outraged Democrats vowed to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that could undo the US health care law known as Obamacare, saying on Saturday that they will use their new power in Congress to hold Republicans responsible and “expose their lies.”
US District Judge Reed O’Connor ruled late Friday that the health insurance reform, officially known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is unconstitutional.
The White House said it expects the ruling to be appealed to the Supreme Court. For now, it said in a statement, “the law remains in place.”
But Democrats, who have seen the law survive scores of legal and legislative attacks, vowed to fight back, saying the health coverage of millions of Americans is at stake.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer tweeted that Republicans had pretended to care about those protected by Obamacare “while quietly trying to remove that support in the courts. Next year, we will force votes to expose their lies.” …

The Dems love legislating from the bench until they don’t like legislating from the bench.
Dueling federal judges! Wheeeeeee!
See, this is why Democrats always win. They fight back and fight dirty...
...the right could learn a thing or two from that.
Obamacare is patently unconstitutional! Period!
The Constitution gives the feds NO authority to meddle in healthcare, much less FORCE individuals to buy insurance.
Obamacare is basically TREASONOUS legislation authorized by the former Enemy in Chief, Obama.
“Outraged Democrats” is redundant.
Democrat: “I’m outraged!”
Response: “Hi! I’m Bob.”
Socialist Insecurity was ruled unconstitutional until FDR was elected.
Notice how the MSM is loudly pointing out the ruling was by a GWBUSH appointed judge??
“Sleepy” Chuck Todd was even raking Schmuckie over the coals today for confirming this judge when the Dems held the Senate
Stupid and Evil should never be in the same room together
No, they don’t always win. And when they do, it’s due to Uniparty collaboration.
There are very few politicians on the right in the GOP these days.
I hope the Democrats dry up like vomit on a hot sidewalk and blow away.
Question:
When have the Dems NOT been outraged?
Being as psyhotic, unhinged, and revolutionary as they are, one can expect the outrage to be eternal, burning
like a million-kilowat bulb.
IMHO
“Obamacare is patently unconstitutional!”
Only Socialist Democrat (scu*bags) can decide if something is constitutional, or not, so the rest of you can go to blazes.
/s/

True, but this isn’t legislating from the bench.
Often paired as "Outraged Muslims."
They also stick together better. You’re not going to see even one “Flake” or “McTurd” standing up now saying well gee, maybe Obamacare wasn’t so great and we could come up with something better. They will now lock arms and go to battle with one voice.
I’m thinking about starting up a newsletter called, “The Daily Liberal Outrage”.
I’m sure that I’d have more-than-enough material to publish a multi-page issue.
These people are wound up like over-inflated balloons, just waiting for the pin-prick so they can explode.
I wonder...do today’s colleges and universities administer the “frontal lobotomy” upon entrance, or maybe wait until their junior year?
I just read where the “students” at Berkley held a “candle-light vigil” for a food-delivery robot (drone) that crashed on the campus. They were revering the (obviously) flawed device for its feelings and attention.
In the 50’s we would have helped those people to the nearest asylum for help.
Exactly. Agree 100%. Unfortunately, MOST Freepers just PRAY thinking Lord Jesus is going to solve everything.
Conservatives either pray or just think leftards are going to follow the rules. They wont and dont.
