HCR: A Lawyer’s Gold Mine (Update)
It’s elementary. As basic to human nature as going to the bathroom. Create a crisis than raid the state or US Treasury to fix it. It’s that simple.
Who can forget Sec. Paulson’s passionate pleas to have America fork over seven hundred billion dollars to Wall Street before the sky falls? Who can forget the genius manipulations of the pharmaceutical and insurance companies culminating with guaranteed health insurance policies for every *American?
And now the lawyers want their share!
With the assistance of the media in creating frothy mouths, urine smelling street urchins demanding their rights to not have HealthCare Reform, benevolent Attorney Generals in fourteen states are going to magnanimously grant them their one wish: They will repeal the law granting them HealthCare Reform.
- ”Oh, oh dear Sir. You are too kind.” they grovel.
The Attorney Generals are preparing to march into various courts around the country. They will probably heir the most expensive law firms to dig for gold in the more than two thousand pages of the HealthCare Reform Bill. They will be digging for any and everything they can go to court with and since the law firms will not be vetted by the City Council or any other authoritative agency, through the Attorney General’s office the gate to the State’s Treasury would be wide open 24/7 for many years to come. Isn’t America wonderful?
As always,

Texas Democratic Legislators Response to AG Greg Abbott Updated
by Deja Vu
Excerpt:
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
We are very disappointed by your decision to file suit against the federal government because you believe that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act "violates the United States Constitution and unconstitutionally infringes upon Texans' individual liberties."
And
Article VI of the United States Constitution declares federal law the supreme law of the land. Since Congress passed this legislation under its constitutional grant of power under Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, it is unclear how any case based on " Texas ' individual liberties" or the 10th Amendment is legally sound.
And
The 10th Amendment does not allow a Texas governor to secede—or a Texas Attorney General to sue—just because they want to score political points. As a Texas taxpayer, we ask you to quit wasting taxpayer money with threats of lawsuits destined to lose, go back to work on issues like predatory lending or toxic contamination in Texas air and water, and shelf these divisive, extreme and losing ideas.
