Remember that in the penalty/tax decision there was also a decision that the Fedgov could not withhold funds from States that didn't increase Medi-care due to Fedgov over-reaching the Commerce Clause. Justice Roberts will have to fly high in a Cirque du Soleil contortion to argue against what he already ruled.
Basically, States cannot be extorted to provide benefits due to Fedgov withholding returned tax receipts. That was a huge win for States' Rights. We'll see how they try to distort, spin, parse, massage that ruling. Doubt they can.
Half-life of this bill: About two weeks. It’ll pass the House, go to the Senate, where dems will filibuster it, then pass a counter-bill, which will go back to the House after Reid orders no conference, and Boehner will wave the white flag.
Republicans can then brag about their record of failure with the claim that they should be given credit for having good intentions.
Seriously, where have you been? The Republican leadership has been carefully orchestrating the surrender to Obama as to hide what they are doing.
The president and the Republicans are on the same page. They have the same agenda. When are you going to realize that?
As long as there are people like you believing that the two parties are different, the charade can continue.
A Republican president will sign off on stuff like light bulb bans and big entitlements. A conservative president would not. Romney is a big government guy.
