if lawmakers/staffers do not suffer like the rest of the citizen, there is less incentive to remove it for everyone

This is just great. The democrats, the congress, the government workers, the unions, the leftist non profits, the big democrat corporate boosters and supporters all wanted and pushed for this unAmerican, unconstitutional, communist tyranny and now all want to be exempt while forcing it on the rest us who DO NOT want it and never did. The founders would have been shooting by now!!

How does Obama do this anyhow? Is he a dictator, a king? How can he wave his hand and some special few are exempted?

You're right!

Our Founders would have been shooting by now!!

Just like that witch Pelosi said, "we have to pass it, to know what's in it."

Shame on Chief Justice Roberts! That damn fool neglected to say in his written opinion, that only one party passed the obamanation! It was not the will of the people's representatives!

The communist and Marxist elite should not have to suffer under ObamaCare, right Barry? ObamaCare is for the unwashed masses. Those disgusting, uneducated and ignorant “little people”. Right Barry?

This is the straw.....

I agree. It's one thing to have something you don't like imposed upon you, yet another to tolerate it while watching someone else get a pass.

Doesn't this mean that just about any citizen could sue under equal protection laws? Certainly, any individual would have standing to bring a case, what with all the exemptions thus far and now this.

I have no confidence that a corrupt legal system, starting with Chief Justice Roberts, can be used to stop this travesty. we have seen how the law can be twisted to support any conclusion. I don't think the existing power structure will allow any successful challenge unless the rulers believe they will be deposed if they don't follow the will of the people.

Everyone contact your representatives and ask that you become unpaid staff members.

He found out early on that no one has the guts to stop him. Congress, GOP, Supreme Court. "We, the People" had a chance last election, but although they hated most of his ideas, they voted for him since he seems like "such a nice guy" To them, anyway.

After one gets past laughing at the assumption they are making that there is a brain to drain in DC, you get to the old saw “none of us is as dumb as all of us.” If half of DC left, I’m pretty sure the collective IQ would increase.

Aside, if they do this and the MSM can find their ballzacs and report it, it might just turn the entire country against DC. Will it change anything? Probably not. Zombies in SFO will still vote for Pelosi because they would never vote for a conservative or Republican. (Have to continue to point out there is a growing difference between the two.)

Hey, they deserve to be exempted. After all, they worked so hard to inflict it on us.

Why aren’t members of congress, much less their staffers, enrolled into ObamaCare? Why isn’t Obama and his lovely family? All executive branch employees?

Remember how things worked in the USSR?
