Walker refuses to work on health care reform
MADISON — Wisconsin’s Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen may have fought the federal health care law but now says Wisconsin should go along with it after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the controversial health care overhaul. Continue Reading

Alice,
Your outrage is hysterical, and hypocritical. It was just fine when teachers broke their contract and staged an illegal strike by putting protest over teaching, or Obama suspends US law with an Executive Order; and now that Walker and other governors are refusing to be coerced by Obama/Supreme Court you are furious.
Your ignorance of the US Constitution is in full view.
“Our founders did not make the federal government sovereign over the people or the states.The 9th Amendment makes it perfectly clear that all rights belong to the people, enumerated or not.The 10th Amendment makes it clear that aside from the power “delegated” to the federal government, EVERYTHING ELSE belongs to the people through their states.And the Federal government was only delegated very limited powers.James Madison said those powers were limited primarily to external objects and named them specifically as war, peace, foreign commerce and negotiations.What that means for us, is that the federal government has no business what so ever in our health care, or in our businesses, our schools, or any other aspect of daily life, whatsoever!”
Read the whole article by Kris Anne Hall, and learn about the State’s Constitutional responsibilty to protect her citizens from the federal government. Walker and the other governors are doing what the US Constitution allows them to do…unfortunately our State Attorney General is as ignorant as you and didn’t bother reading Chief Justice Robert’s words.

“This is law now! Walker is going against the President, the Supreme Court and Wisconsin’s own Attorney General”
FALSE !!!!!
“The Supreme Court is NOT the ultimate arbiter of the Constitutionality of a law.The Supreme Court is 1/3 of the federal government, with no more or less power than the other two branches.It is the Constitution that is the Supreme law of the land, not the Justices of the Supreme Court, and all decisions, even ones made by the court must stand before the ultimate judge – the rule of law in the Constitution.” *
And to enlighten WI Attorney General Van Hollen:
“…states must do their jobs.Madison declared our state legislators to be the “sure guardians of our Liberty.”How many of our state legislators really understand that their primary job description is to protect the people from federal encroachment? Listen to the power in Madison’s exact words.
“the State Legislatures will jealously and closely watch the operations of this Government, and be able to resist with more effect every assumption of power, than any other power on earth can do; and the greatest opponents to a Federal Government admit the State Legislatures to be sure guardians of the people’s liberty.”” *
I’m looking to vote for a WI Attorney General who has the courage to stand up for state’s rights, and understands the knowledge and wisdom of the US Constitution and Federalist Papers. Unless Van Hollen sees the error in his statement…I won’t be voting for him.
70% of the US population DOES NOT want Obamacare…it is time to read the US Constitution and Federalist Papers and act accordingly…and heed Chief Justice Roberts own words:
“It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

Are your politics so lame you have to quibble about the accuracy of a statistic while ignoring the trampling of individual and state rights granted in the US Constitution? How many of YOUR freedoms must be taken before the scales fall from your eyes and you scream, “stop”? Or do you think of yourself as one of the favored elites with your UW job (*) who will be rewarded under socialist policies?
It seems the lib media cherry-picks the survey numbers that support the Journolist line.
A round-up of 7 different surveys:
mrc.org/node/40544 (add before web address: http://www. )
Are you looking forward to the new taxes contained in the Obamacare bill that will hit anyone with incomes under $250,000? (breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/06/29/Seven-new-taxes)
How about your opinion on IPAB? This is the appointed committee that will determine the cost-effectiveness of Medicare health care treatments. Dems set it up as a cost-saving measure for Obamacare while allowing arms-length distance to the negative effects/publicity of health care rationing. (nationalreview.com/corner/264988/ipab-obama-and-socialism-stanley-kurtz)
You were appalled Walker was going to out–of-state fundraisers. How do you feel about Obama holding out-of-COUNTRY fundraisers? How about attending a Paris fundraiser for the mere contribution of $20,000/plate, with a couple getting a bargain for only $30,000? Aren’t you outraged? It’s so nice of Obama to take another taxpayer paid campaign trip…he has already had more campaign jaunts then George W. at this stage….talk about BUYING an office!!!

Very predictable reply, especially when your pattern of posting involves: copy/paste or name calling or senseless and obtuse words.
How about giving your opinion on IPAB? Anyone with sick elderly relatives will run head-on into the consequences of this appointed panel. (This panel, IPAB, is apparently what former Gov. Palin referred to as, “d eath panels.” Do some research on IPAB before thinking a snarky comment…)
You can’t stand liars. So why aren’t you calling Obama a liar for his insistence ACA isn’t a tax? Everytime he (or one of his minions) says it isn’t a tax, then the program is, as CJ Roberts clearly pointed out….is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
And I’m really curious, Alice. What freedoms do you hold dear? How much tax penalty are you willing to pay to keep them?

Alice…really, read the ruling. States can run their own health care, i.e. BadgerCare and NOT follow the law as written..the Supreme Court said that. Finally, all the Supreme Court did was say congress CAN apply a tax…guess what? It wasn’t written as a TAX therefore it is invalid UNTIL congress changes the wording. All we are going to see is more lawsuits, different lawsuits, then what was just ruled on. Its a tax, plane and simple. Something Obama PROMISED it was not. It will never survive and will be repealed as soon as the takers are run out of the White House, Congress and Senate. Once again, Obama has done NOTHING for this country other than drive us deeper in debt and divide the country even more.

Alice, your “voice” is irrelevant. Until you fact check you’re not worthing debating. We are WAY deeper into Afghanistan then we ever were under Bush with NO END in sight. He never got Bin Laden, it didn’t matter who was in the WH, the intel was finally good enough to go ahead and take him out. Thats what you’re hanging his accomplishments on? What a joke.
How’s the unemployment going? How do you feel about another 21 taxes that will be imposed on those you “hopey/changey” thing going? The truth, you so conveniently ignore is that the state with a republican in charge are FAR better off than the country as a whole. Name one state under democratic control that is in better shape than Wisconsin?

And Obama ordered a US citizen to be killed with a drone strike…another indication the “law prof” doesn’t worry about “innocent until proven guilty” part of the law.
Obama also ordered US aircraft to destroy targets in Syria during their civil war (aka Arab Spring), without Senate approval. Then too, are the illegal airstrikes/drone attacks in Yemen that are turning the people against the US
The only reason Obama talked about bin Laden was to get the press/photo ops and “demonstrate” his toughness for poll numbers. He/his administration has leaked so much security info it has endangered other countries/people.
If Bush had done 1/10th the illegal actions or stupid leaks the Obama Admin has done, you would be having a major fit.

Walker is supposed to impose Obama’s new redistribution of wealth scheme because it’s now law, but Obama doesn’t have to enforce fed law to get the illegals out of our country because he wants to get re-elected, hey Alice?
Democrats steal another election. No we don’t need voter id.

At least the Republicans will legally regain control in November.

Hi quagmire,
Your profile shows you’re from Duluth…tough time you’re having up there, hope things are getting better and everyone’s safe. I worked for a company out of Duluth; loved the city and North Shore. I would move there but MN is too lib for me.
Wisconsin politics have gotten contentious since 2010, but MN also has it’s problems (same PE union benefit costs raising taxes) and battles (voter ID, marriage amendment) coming this fall. I have to say, I feel better living in a state with a Gov. Walker than a Gov. Dayton.
Take care, thanks for stopping by (I don’t know why you got thumbs down, I just took you comment as an observation….)

The way I see it, the main enemy that the American people have is the media. MSNBC, FOX NEWS , everyone of them lie. I watch both and try to stay in the middle.
