They're firing -- OMG - THEY'RE FIRING!!!


White House Fires Back at Ruling Declaring Obama's Health Care Law Unconstitutional ...

Excerpts:

Senior Obama administration officials told reporters late Monday afternoon that a federal judge's ruling deeming the sweeping health care reform law unconstitutional is "well out of the mainstream of judicial opinion" and predicted it would be overturned on appeal.

Their complaint that the decision was built in part on conjecture was related to passages like this: "Or, as discussed during oral argument, Congress could require that people buy and consume broccoli at regular intervals...Not only because the required purchases will positively impact interstate commerce, but also because people who eat healthier tend to be healthier, and are thus more productive and put less of a strain on the health care system."

That passage, one official said, "does not in any way fit with a traditional Commerce Clause analysis." The official added: "It's really frankly, as I can tell, a scare tactic, and it's not one that any lawyer of any ideological inclination would recognize." The rest here:

Right, cuz you idiotlibs never use the commerce clause to push your agendas.  If not the commerce clause it's the general welfare clause.  Because you think the power of government should be unlimited so you stretch the intent of these clauses to include "any damn thing we tell you to do."

Of course the founding fathers intended for the government to be unlimited.  Anyone can see that in the Constitution.  Especially when it comes to legislating for the greater good.  That's why they wrote the entire constitution instead of just saying "The government can do any thing it damn well pleases ... The end."  Idiotlibs.

The thing that really grabbed my attention though was the headline "White House fires back."  Cuz, seriously, isn't that what you do when a judge rules against you ... you FIRE BACK."  Oh, all the time because ... a judge?  Sheeyit, judges don't mean nuttin to me.  

But think about this phrase ... to describe it this way, first the media has to interpret the ruling as "firing at Obama."  When, in reality, the ruling was an interpretation of the government's power according to the Constitution.

It goes without saying that the media would interpret this as "hostile firing" against their fellow communists big government and pass that attitude along to you in a headline.  You're not supposed to notice the bias ... baaaaa, bleat.  I mean, please,  how's the government supposed to control everything you do if these courts keep "firing" at them?

I thought that any references to weapons (in the crosshairs, line of fire or firing, ammo, etc.) were off-limits in the kindler, gentler post-Tuscon era. Only for conservatives, of course.
