One of the writers of Obamacare… talk about a smoking gun. Of course, H.L.

We Passed the Law Thanks to the ‘Stupidity of the American Voter’
November 10 | Posted by mrossol | ObamaCareTerritories Free of ObamaCare
July 21 | Posted by mrossol | Democrat Party, ObamaCare, The Left, US ConstitutionI thought we held to the principle of “Lex Rex”? Apparently, not all ‘elected officials’ do, or care. =========== Last week’s burst of world disorder was ideal for a news dump, and the White House didn’t disappoint: On no legal basis, all 4.5 million residents of the five U.S. territories were quietly released from ObamaCare.

Sebelius is even more important for the... Read more
