Makes no funding not only a smart move but constitutionally required.

Plus Obama is refusing to comply with requests from Congressional overseers for documents.

He is showing contempt for Congress and the Judiciary. Given his poll numbers, where he gets the idea he can get away with this is beyond me.

I'm tired of trying to analyze and decipher the intent of the enemy.

It is obvious "they" are out to "kill" us.

WHY do we waste time sharing information that we instinctively know, and ....

I'm tired.

I more and more view Obamacare as today’s Roe v. Wade. The Libs foisted an extreme policy/program on the country and it will tear the country apart for years to come. These decisions require consensus and gradualism. The Dems don’t care. They will take what they can, when they can and rip the country apart to keep it.

He thinks the path he’s on is going to discredit the opposition, namely us.

It’s actually going to discredit the federal government even more, and convince still more people that the federal government is out of control and in danger of becoming a monster, a dictatorship.

Well, it sounds like it has started. Florida has returned early Federal funding and issued a statement that the state will not take further implementation steps pending a final resolution of the Federal case.

Judge Vinson, “ “declaratory relief.” is the “functional equivalent of an injunction...officials of the Executive Branch will adhere to the law as declared by the court.”

IMAGINE if Reagan or Bush said , ‘ we don`t give a rat`s ass about the law, we`re implementing our illegal scheme anyway!’

The press would go apes**t with 2 inch newspaper headlines ‘ CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. REAGAN TO BE IMPEACHED!?’

ABCNBCCBSCNN would have wall-to-wall coverage of the radical White House`s actions.

With obama? Crickets

Constitutional crisis over the anti-American usurper’s eligibility, over the enumerated powers, over the First Amendment (”freedom of speech” Internet Kill Switch, “the free exercise thereof” for religion, . . .), the Second Amendment, . . . through the Tenth Amendment. This Kenya/Indonesia/Hawaii(?)/Chicago(?) communist is the most pathetic politician in our country’s history. I pray we will reach the crisis soon and move on to a real American, even Biden, in our White House.

I never heard it before yesterday when Wilkow played the Schumer sound bite of the three branches of government, ...

the senate, the house and the judiciary.

I don't have time to find the sound bite ... but Schumer actually said that.

REMEMBER: .... Obama AND all of his O-bots consider the Constitution to be a FLAWED DOCUMENT .... therefore, since in their superior opinion it is flawed, they do NOT have to, and indeed SHOULD NOT FOLLOW IT.

You can't possibly believe that any of them care one bit if OBAMACARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The website of the White House is unambiguous about this: “Implementation will continue.”

I'm not sure we should be relying on what the White House's website says, but I do think SOME entity must challenge the implementation based on the ruling. Whether that entity be the press, Congress, or the people--the ruling must at least be addressed.

As we've seen, especially since the 2000 election, Dems love to thumb their noses at legal precedent, court orders, rulings, and laws. Congress has the Constitutional power of oversight though, so I believe it's up to them.

Why wouldn’t he?

No one has had the balls to stand up to the illegitimate president yet, why would they have the balls now?

He can do whatever he wants, he’s untouchable, and he knows it.

Obama threw us into a Constitutional crisis the moment he took his oath on the Koran as the usurping enemy of this country that he is. It’s just that the whole country hasn’t realized it yet.

I feel like one of your ants. How many times do we have to keep going over the same ground before we understand we are living in an altered reality.

It seems likely that the Government will ask the 11th Circuit Court to stay the ruling pending an appeal for a reversal of the lower court. This should happen fairly quickly or least there should be an official announcement that it will happen. When it does the 11th Circuit Court will have to rule on the stay request. Until that happens I think discussions of a Constitutional Crisis are a bit premature. Now if Obama doesn’t appeal or if by chance the stay isn’t granted and the Government continues to implement Obamacare then we have grounds for impeachment.

What Constitutional Crisis?

It seems very simple to me.

Maybe CNBC should read the constitution...they might learn something.

Becoming????? Depends on the meaning of "becoming"
