The Lawsuit

[fadedrose]

You all know which one...the newest one.

They finally found an attorney to do it.

When does it start? Will the trial be televised? Can a lawsuit against the President be private?

I think Paula Jones' lawsuit against Clinton was public, but not televised. I don't remember the verdict in that case.

Not sure of what this one is about - the President didn't make somebody pay something like the AFA required?

Anybody know?

1. i guess i don't know which lawsuit

3. ACA lawsuit, saying Obama had no rights to tweak the ACA by executive order. It is a bullshit

lawsuit, to try to unite the crazies.

I hope that this gets thrown back in their faces by huge losses in 2016.

2. They say his executive actions to tweak the ACA, which is existing law, are not legal. Problem with

that is Presidents have been doing this for decades. This is a frivilous lawsuit, but a political party who are more racist then they would like to admit

4. Here's their claim...

"Specifically, the suit challenges the Health and Human Services Department and the Treasury Department on two key areas of the health law's implementation. It challenges the administration for delaying implementation of the employer mandate, a rule that was supposed to kick in this year. It also challenges the roughly $175 billion in funding the administration has given to insurance companies to subsidize coverage for Obamacare enrollees."

The absolute ridiculousness of this claim:

"It challenges the administration for delaying implementation of the employer mandate, a rule that was supposed to kick in this year."

It was the repubs who demanded the delay, saying it was essential to give employers more time.

8. Thank you

Now I remember. The employers were not quite ready for the law so Obama gave them more time to adjust...

The subsidies are hard to get unless you were really on the lowest end of the wage requirements and could not afford any premium....

I guess they're supposed to shut up and die and stop causing trouble.

9. The republicans want everyone who has received coverage through ACA...

to lose that coverage, die faster, go bankrupt. They are disgusting scum.

5. What's up with Jonathan Turley??

I thought he was a reliable liberal Dem. Why would he take on this suit?

[cali]

6. oh my word no. He is most assuredly not a reliable dem

he testified in favor of impeaching Clinton, for example. Although socially liberal on some issues, he's more libertarian than anything else.

7. Didn't know that.

Everything I've read has referred to him as a dem.
