<p>I think that a lawsuit will be filed. The problem is that it will take a year or so to go through the sysem. When any law is passed and signed by the pesident, he has a duty to enforce it as written, not pick and choose those portions he likes.</p>

<p>You are reading a lot into my comments that I did not say. Unlike you, I am not defending either side. I think that Obamacare should be funded and apply to everyone covered in the original bill for one year. It should be sunset for one year. If it works fine, if not it is thrown out.</p>

I've heard this same argument about everyone being forced over to Obamacare on right wing radio.

<div>This whole idea of "fairness" is bogus, especially for a party whose members say to all us "bleeding hearts": "Life is unfair." I say that more taxes on super rich is "fair," but the GOP says it's not. I like my idea of equity better than yours.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Even hundreds of GOP congressional aides rose up and said "Unfair!" when their employers tried to strip them their government health plans. They saw how phony this charade is. Thanks to the Great Goddess, who is always fair, the majority of your sad party refused to do it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Except for some computer problems, the individual mandate is ready to go, none too late, for millions of people without coverage. Such as a friend's sister with cancer who was arbitrarily kicked off Medicaid. She will now have coverage, no questions asked. I ask you: Is it fair, if you had your way, that millions of uninsured will not be able to sign up in the exchanges??? I can't believe that you would answer Yes.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The situation with employer coverage is very different, and some fixes are begging to be made. Already employee hours are being cynically cut because their bosses don't want to cover them. Thanks to the individual mandate--a conservative idea by the way--they can find their own coverage on the exchanges. Your charge that the delay for employer coverage is "unconstitutional" is absurd.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Your history lesson is misguided. After piling up debt year after year (finally tripling it, primarily in an unnecessary escalation of the Cold War), Reagan was never threatened by the Democrats not to extend the debt limit. They never attached "do or die" amendments to their budget proposals. They made of their budgets, passed them on time, with Reagan's approval. The current GOP has blocked every single budget compromise (spending cuts contingent on modest tax increases). It's the GOP's fault that there is no budget.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If Reagan were here today, he would agree with your 2008 GOP presidential candidate John McCain: this Tea Party madness must stop. Reagan would certainly not agree with your defense of this egregious, terrorist-like obstruction of government.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I challenge you to call your GOP representatives and relay McCain's message to them. Even Boehner did not want this to happen, but he caved into his radical right. He will eventually have to come back and drop this insane Obamacare provision. The number of House Republicans ready to do this is growing day by day. They know very well that Obama will not give in to blackmail and extortion.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Roger, I can't believe you really want to be left standing on the extreme, extreme right. You don't do it locally, and you should not do it nationally.</div>
<div>Why the inconsistency?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Eagerly waiting and wishing for the GOP, particularly its cowardly House Speaker, to come to its senses, or collapse under the weight of own irrationality and stupidity,</div>

Now the House is sending over bills to fund various portions of the government and the Senate seems bound and determined to reject these. So just who is responsible for the continued shutdown.
