— DrewM "A government of laws and not of men"-Stuff John Adams actually wrote.
Impeached federal judge and current Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings disagrees.
From today's House Committee on Rules (how's that for irony?) health care reform session...
234 years is a good run by any standard. Now, as with all things, it comes to an end.

Yep, we are fucked with a Garden Weasel™. Of course, we knew this long ago, but being good people, we held out hope that our 'representatives' would do the right thing. They will not.
The problem isn't even the fundamental change in what the idea of America is. It's the fact that there are more people taking from the system than paying in. And they are outbreeding us.

or elected Marion Barry to a City Council seat after he was caught on camera with a prostitute smoking crack?
It isn't that these people did something wrong after they were elected. They did stuff before they were elected and elected anyway.
There is a certain disregard of the law in that and he obviously personifies it in what he is saying today.

Repubs too. But they are a smaller fraction of the total. So again, what have I said that is factually incorrect. Or are you just one of those who tries to score some cheap grace by crying racism everytime you think you see an opportunity to pat yourself on the back?

Military Plans Not Protected Under Obamacare? [Daniel Foster]
From GOP.gov:
Background: On March 18, 2010, just days before the House votes on the DemocratsÂ’ government takeover of health care, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO) announced he would introduce legislation to preemptively state that TRICARE and the Department of Defense non-appropriated fund (NAF) health plans meet all of the health care requirements currently under consideration by Congress for individual health insurance. TRICARE and the NAF health plans programs provide health coverage to members of the military and their families, military retirees and their families, and employees of U.S. military post/base exchanges. Chairman Skelton even stated he would also insert this legislative language into the national defense authorization bill, reiterating the threat the health care bill currently poses to military health plans. This is an explicit admission that the final Democrat health care bill does not protect these plans.
Military Protections Scrapped: The Senate-passed health care bill, which the House is expected to “deem” passed on March 21, 2010, omitted protections for military health plans that were included in the House bill. Specifically, the Senate language does not appear to give the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) health care system specific protection from interference by other government agencies administering the various authorities contained in the massive bill, as it pertains to “minimum essential coverage.” The minimum essential coverage language in the Senate bill does cover “the veterans health care program under chapter 17 of title 38, United States Code,” but it is unclear whether that covers veterans’ survivors and dependents.
The final bill would leave it up to a bureaucrat at the Department of the Treasury to determine whether TRICARE meets the minimum standards under the DemocratsÂ’ individual health insurance mandate. If that bureaucrat decides against TRICARE, service members and their families would have to buy some other health coverage or pay a penalty.
In an effort to bolster support for the House health care takeover back in August 2009, the White House advertised that billÂ’s exemption for 9.2 million military personnel, families, and retirees covered under TRICARE and the military health plan. In August, the White House website stated that:
Health reform legislation that is being considered would enable those who are covered by TRICARE to meet the shared responsibility requirement for individuals to have insurance, thereby exempting such members of the uniformed services and dependants from being assessed penalties. If enacted, the President will ensure that this exemption is implemented aggressively.
Of course, the final health care bill does not include this promised exemption for military plans.

If the gov't isn't giving it's own soldiers “minimum essential coverage” I can't imagine how expensive that coverage must be for private insurance (...and I don't WANT acupuncture, abortion, or gender-reassignment coverage).

I understand your point. But let me ask you a serious question. Can you imagine a Blago or a Traficant being let back into power? I doubt you can. (yes, I know Traficant has delusions about this.) That, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is accepted that black solidarity trumps responsibility.
I have lived with Marion Barry for 30-odd years. The ironic thing is that he has a minor impact on my life, but a huge, and hugely negative impact on the lives of those he is continuously reelected to represent. So who is the racist? The one who wants to solve the problems that afflict black America, or the hustler whose stock in trade is maintaining and even participating in those pathologies.

More than half the country opposes ObamaCare. The only way people will truly, once-and-for-all rise up and kill the philosophy of big government is if it passes. And don't buy the nonsense that entitlements can't be repealed. It all depends on the numbers. If we elect enough Republicans to override an Obama veto, then ObamaCare is gone.
Look around you. Are you telling me that you don't think this country is ready to make a move as radical as giving the GOP supermajorities in both houses of Congress? After Scott Brown won in Massachusetts, you still think we're doomed, screwed, done, toast, and over?
The Democrats consistently underestimate the rage they're engendering. I think a lot of conservatives do, too. My own bet is that ObamaCare passes tomorrow, and then in November the GOP takes back both houses of Congress with a majority large enough to override Obama's vetos.
What we're seeing from Congress and the president are unprecedented. The electorate will therefore provide an unprecedented response.
Count on it. The electorate is going to send a message that neither party will ever forget. We're in uncharted waters here. Be excited, not afraid. The sky is the limit, thanks to Obama.

Well, this thread's dead and I'm not nearly drunk enough. Nevertheless, I'll just posit that the majority of people opposed to the government take-over of healthcare comprises two groups: 1) those who believe that the federal government has no business performing said take-over, and 2) Democrats who don't believe this represents enough of a take-over.
I once possessed your cautious optimism but it has finally been replaced with despair and a DailyKos-level hatred of half of my fellow countrymen. I certainly did not feel this way eighteen years ago upon Clinton's election.
