The Daily Caller posted a story yesterday about the ongoing court battle against Obamacare. On January 31, Judge Roger Vinson ruled that Obamacare was unconstitutional. Because the Obama Administration ignored his ruling and continued implementing the law, the Judge has issued another ruling.
The article reports:
"Now, Vinson has given the Obama administration an ultimatum to either stop implementing the law, or appeal it--presumably to the Supreme Court. It is unclear what will happen if the administration ignores that order."
Several states have stopped implementing the law since it was declared unconstitutional.
Meanwhile, the plot thickens...Today's Daily Caller posted a report on the appearance of Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee. In her testimony, Secretary Sebelius admitted that $500 billion was double counted in the Obamacare law.
Republican Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois questioned Secretary Sebelius about whether the $500 billion in Medicare cuts were to preserve Medicare or pay for Obamacare. Secretary Sebelius answered, "Both."
Wow. Remind me never to give that lady access to my checkbook. Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it." I guess she was right. If I ran my household budget that way, I would have been broke a long time ago. Now the government is trying to help me get there.
