A U.S. judge said on Wednesday congressional Republicans could move forward with parts of a lawsuit that alleges executive overreach by President Barack Obama’s administration in implementing his signature healthcare law.

U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer, appointed by former President George W. Bush, said the House of Representatives has the standing to pursue claims that the secretaries of Health and Human Services and the Treasury violated the Constitution by spending funds Congress did not appropriate.

  • It was supposed to make healthcare cheaper – it didn’t.
  • It was supposed to make healthcare better – it didn’t.
  • It was supposed to be paid for in part by reduced waste, mismanagement and corruption – it wasn’t.

Congratulations Democrats! You have turned over the administering of national healthcare to the same people who oversee the VA, and you’ve handed accountability to that noble, efficient, benevolent and self-controlled bureaucracy the IRS. Ha!

 

 

But that doesn’t let the Republicans off the hook! I know I speak for a lot of people when I say, to a lot of us it doesn’t matter anymore.

Republicans have acted as they were in strait jackets at the back of the padded room for the last seven years so why now?

But then again, don’t miss the major point of this lawsuit.

The case is about the illegal overreach by the administration over the constitutional authority of the Legislature.

Just remember this also, it took a hundred years and many defeats before the Republican Party got the Civil Rights Act finally got passed and affirmed the right way.
