Hmmmm …

“The instability of our laws is really an immense evil. I think it would be well to provide in our constitutions that there shall always be a twelve-month between the ingross-ing a bill & passing it: that it should then be offered to its passage without changing a word: and that if circum-stances should be thought to require a speedier passage, it should take two thirds of both houses instead of a bare majority.”

–Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, 1787

Betcha the “Affordable” Care Act wouldn’t have passed under this scenario …

Are you wearing red today? I have grown rather fond of my Lightning Polo.

I’ve changed my profile picture to better reflect what I look like right now. I know if it changes in the future, readers will say “huh?” so here’s what is going in the side bar:

And today’s thought:

“[I]t is more convenient to prevent the passage of a law, than to declare it void after it has passed.”

So, the uphill battle to defund and nullify Obamacare is harder now that it’s a law, rather than keeping it from passing in the first place. Even the “representatives” on the Hill are finding out what’s in it (after the conservative blog-o-sphere has been screaming about it since it’s inception) and running away from the Affordable Care Act (that ain’t so affordable after all) as fast as their pork-laden legs will carry them.

There – that ought to be anough to give you something to talk about all weekend.

“I consider the government of the United States as interdicted by the Constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises. This results not only from the provision that no law shall be made respecting the establishment or free exercise of religion, but from that also which reserves to the States the powers not delegated to the United States. Certainly, no power to prescribe any religious exercise or to assume authority in any religious discipline has been delegated to the General Government. It must then rest with the States.”

–Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Miller, 1808

This means that the Federal Government is limited to what the Constitution says it can do. Education is not on that list. Energy Control is not on that list. Forcing people to buy insurance that they cannot afford is not on that list. Supporting foreign terrorists is not on that list.

Enough of your actions, Obama. Enough of the Government running and ruining the lives of the citizens. Time to trim this branch back to the trunk.

(private message to the NSA goons who are reading this: I am an American. I have certain rights given to me by God. Nothing you do or say will stop me from exercising those rights. I was born free, and I will die free, if need be, to do my part in assuring that future generations have that chance also)

Remember back when Pelosi (ptui) said they had to pass the Affordable Health Care bill (Obamacare) to know what was in it? Well, it seems Obama’s (THHO) signature legislation has finally been figured out. Now that they know what’s in it, they don’t want any part of it. Funny, but conservative bloggers have been telling them from the get-go that what was in there would create higher cost coverage than what we had then.

My blogging friend BZ has a nice little blurb up:

The fear: Government-subsidized premiums will disappear at the end of the year under a provision in the health care law that nudges aides and lawmakers onto the government health care exchanges, which could make their benefits exorbitantly expensive.

Yeah, now that they’ve saddled US with this crap, they’re high-tailing it out the back door …
