My guess is that Judge Roger Vinson of the U.S. District Court in Pensacola, Fla., is an amateur zoologist. Judge Vinson is the federal judge who ruled Monday that those who confected Obamacare cannot compel the citizenry to buy health insurance. Moreover, he found that the way the 2,700-page law was created, without any “severability clause,” makes the entire law unconstitutional. The authors of Obamacare declared that without mandatory insurance, the whole bill was unworkable. Mandatory insurance is not severable from the law. Hence, Judge Vinson threw out the whole law because of the way it was constructed. Now it is up to the Supreme Court to breathe life into this legislation or bury it. I say RIP.
As learned as Judge Vinson indubitably is - in the course of his meditations on Obamacare he reread the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, James Madison‘s notes at the constitutional convention, certain cogitations of Chief Justice John Marshall and more - the erudite judge surely noted a zoological curiosity. Conservatives and liberals are so different as to be drawn from distinct species of political animals. To me, the conservative has always appeared to be some form of mammal. The liberal is reptilian. I could be wrong. I wonder what Judge Vinson might say.

America! It's about
“Now it is up to the Supreme Court to breathe life into this legislation or bury it. I say RIP.”
Kill the whole mess.
Ever since I saw a cockroach in a roach motel one day, that then hatched some young roaches, and used them to unstick itself from the adhesive, I knew the proper mascot for the ‘Rat party, regardless of Bush’s ad.
What the difference between conservatives and liberals are, is conservatives believe that if you can get a person to adopt new habits, they can change their situation. Liberals, on the other hand, believe they if they change the situation, they will change the person, like putting lipstick on a pig.
I would say it is the difference between being cold blooded and warm blooded.
the difference between a conservative and a liberal...
A Conservative bases his politics on his morals...
A Liberal bases his morals on his politics...
DONT EVER FORGET IT!
