So Now The Law And Order Crowd Refuses To Follow The Law

Now that their Supreme Court has said the Affordable Health Care Act is constitutional they will refuse to follow the law and implement its provisions. They want to abolish everything that they do not agree with. Cooperation is when you do it their way.

And one of their people voted to uphold the law.

Their reaction to the this decision shows that it is impossible to deal with them. Too bad we can't have a nasty divorce.

I think its embarassing that so many people in this country have so little grasp of what the ACA actually says. But I expect that from the folks opposing the law. Its just doubly embarassing when folks who support the law reveal that they don't know what is in it.

That's what the teabaggers are. They pick and choose which laws, as delineated by the Constitution, they'll follow and which ones they'll ignore.

Obviously the GOP is abusive, so why aren't we getting out of the house? They're only getting worse. Maybe we can fight them back, but at what point do we just say we've had enough and leave?
