I'm Suing Over ObamaCare Exemptions for Congress
If the president wants to change the health-care law, he must ask Congress to do it.
by Senator Ron Johnson
On Monday, Jan. 6, I am filing suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin to make Congress live by the letter of the health-care law it imposed on the rest of America. By arranging for me and other members of Congress and their staffs to receive benefits intentionally ruled out by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the administration has exceeded its legal authority.
The president and his congressional supporters have also broken their promise to the American people that ObamaCare was going to be so good that they would participate in it just like everyone else. In truth, many members of Congress feel entitled to an exemption from the harsh realities of the law they helped jam down Americans' throats in 2010. Unlike millions of their countrymen who have lost coverage and must now purchase insurance through an exchange, members and their staffs will receive an employer contribution to help pay for their new plans.

Remember Senator Johnson from Wisconsin? He's the one who annoyed Hillary Clinton so much she lost her temper and made her now infamous words "what does it matter." I've always thought that she was angry that this nobody, this neophite businessman turned pol, and defeater of uber lib Russ Feingold, has dared to question HER and thus committed les majeste'.
McTingles was irate that Johnson dared to question St. Hillary. He said:
If little Chrissy Matthews was annoyed by a nobody from Wisconsin "getting over the wall" into American politics" due to a "low turnout" election he must be quite vexed by the election of De Blasio in New York City with a turnout of only 25%. If so he hasn't mentioned it. But then his own hypocrisy seldom bothers him. If he even notices.

"That was kind of a pissant performance by that guy from Wisconsin. I don’t know how these guys get over the wall into American politics. I think they won in a very low turnout elections in Wisconsin."
