The states went about challenging Obamacare the wrong way. They should have re opened the issue of States Nulification. While the court says no state can nullify the federal was or regulations. How about 26 acting in concert. We also overlook the most basic, most core concept in our nation. The Constitution is the Property of the States, and 33 States Standing United can do anything. They can fire the Feds at will. It's time to wake the States up.

I know one should not speak ill of the dead... But this is one of the men that pioneered the stripping of local and state sovereignty from the people in favor of the great nanny state by using highly questionable means. Mainly extortion. Using federal highway funds to force states to alter their drinking ages, and treat adult citizens of one age group differently from adults of another. 18 year olds could die in war but weren't responsible enough to drink? Sad and ironic coming from a man who felt he was still responsible and energetic to serve in the Senate at 89. Look at this man and learn. He is a microcosm for everything that has gone wrong in American politics.

Crazy question here? But looking at this, based on Holders Sworn testimony to Congress, either he committed perjury there, or he clearly lied to a Federal Judge by misrepresenting James Rosen as a criminal in order to obtain a surveilance while having no intent o prosecute. This is much worse for Holder than anyone has mentioned. Either of these sets of circumstances are almost guaranteed cause for disbarment. So has anyone filed a Bar complaint yet? Congressman Issa? Mr. Rosen? Care to step up to the plate and rid us of this idiot?

Why exactly are we spending taxpayers money on any of this? Why do we need this anachronism of an agency? Why are we paying an agency's worth of bureacrats? And why do we need 9 high level US politicians to run the mess. Just shut it all down.

Lerner is a sworn Federal Employee of an enforcement agency, who has been called to give testimony directly regarding the operation of said enforcement agency and matters directly related to her job before the citizens of this nation. Congress has a duly mandated authority of oversight. Ms. Lerner is NOT a Civilian standing before a Grand Jury. She is a Federal Officer. Her abilities to take the 5th are and should be much more limited.

I think if we start looking at the bigger picture, that it becomes clear that a lot of high up administration officials knew this was comming for a long time. Remember those absolutely insane ammo purchases by DHS and the TREASURY Dept? Particular the IRS security people? All of the trainings against "Right Wing White Terrorists". Uh Huh! They have been expecting and planning for a Tea Party Revolt over this. They have been drilling for it. So somebody please ask the question, when did Janet Napolitiano know? And why did DHS, Justice and Treasury choose to hunker down, arm themselves and point the guns at the American people rather than investigating and arresting the IRS?

Well one thing it is probably worth noting in comparison with Richard Nixon. In Nixon's case, the White House might haves asked for the opposition to be investigated. But the then IRS Director refused. The IRS chose to not be Nixon's political tool. Federal employees did the right thing. Compare that with today, where the IRS itself chose to be an active and subversive participant in the political process. This is much worse than Watergate.

Ok, can we, as American Consumers, finally stand up, man up and bring the fight to Comcast's door over this type of stuff? Start reminding people that their cable company thinks they are racist for having the temerity to expect competence and integrity in the most powerful and overbearing government organization on the planet.

Regardless of party the Senators will eventually act in their own self interests if not the interests of their constituents. Nixon fell when 30 of his own parties Senators pledged to bring him down.

Lets not forget item 5; DHS holding law enforcement terrorist preparedness drill in which the mandated scenario is "public school bus attacked by pack of radicalized right wing homeschoolers" over the weekend. you can't make this stuff up.
