“At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen.”

Good to see that Sen Johnson believes Congress and their staffers should be exempt from 0CommieCare....but not us taxpaying little people. Pound sand, Sen Johnson.

If those same RINOs somehow manage to wrest control of the senate away from the Dems, I’m not expecting much if any change. Mark my words: They will squander their advantage. Its what they do; its who they are.
RINOs only want their cushy jobs, not the real work that goes along with it.

I think I am in agreement with this judge.
Boehner had a chance to win against Obamacare last year when Ted Cruz led the effort to fund all of federal government except for the PPACA Obamacare. But Boehner caved and passed to fund Obamacare and raise the debt ceiling to fund all of Obama’s wish list until after the November elections.

(ARTICLE V)
To: Jane Long
That's not how I read the suit. From the article:
Johnson argued that the Obama administration decision to allow the government to contribute to staffers and members health costs was not allowed under the Affordable Care Act. He said his injury was that the policy put him at an unfair disadvantage with his voters and required him to file a form distinguishing staff and non-staff. Griesbach said that was not enough.
Sounds like he was trying to find a way to show injury. Because the government is contributing to his staffers health care costs, that put them at an advantage over regular Americans.....Thus, it put him at an unfair disadvantage with his voters because they wouldn't like that.
Maybe, I'm wrong, but that's the way I read it.

Thank you for the kind words.
I’ll be even more succinct: Republicans don’t play to win.

Republicans dont play to win.Except when they're primaried by Tea Partiers, then it's scorched earth.

These damn “judges” have way too much power. The Constitution never meant for them to be this powerful. The communist ‘RAT Party did that.

That’s okay - Obama has a pen and a phone.
Obamacare will be the law of the land. :)
