I would kinda think most of the damage is done in the states where the clinics have been shuttered. Like once they're forced to shut down, even if the law gets overturned, I can't imagine it'll be easy to re-open them with the "pro-life" folks fighting you through the zoning commission or whatever.

Texas is pretty hosed in this regard. I think we're looking to have six total clinics, with two in Houston, by the end of the year.

Speaking if the court, the health care subsidies question was rushed to the docket. It is 14-114, Supreme Court petition King v. Burwell

On Friday en banc consideration of the case was requested by the federal government

Oh, and so far 6 states that are using the federal exchange have issued executive orders declaring they are actually using a state exchange when using the federal ones, so in the event of 5-4 bullshit the subsidies won't stop. Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Arkansas, and Delaware are the states so far

quote:

"This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else," [Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL)] told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "It's part of the strategy that Barack Obama implemented in 2008, continued in 2012, where he divides us all on race, on sex, greed, envy, class warfare, all those kinds of things. Well that’s not true."

This is just...perfection. :bahgawd:

He later doubled down.

quote:

"As best I can in the time limitations I have, I try to make sure people understand what the Democrats are doing by raising race as an issue every chance they get," he said. "It's much like the congressmen during the (immigration) debate on Friday: Democrat after Democrat was talking racism and race. And the motivation for their doing so was to try to cause bloc voters of race to vote solely on skin color.

"I'm one of those who does not believe in racism and I believe everyone should be treated equally as American citizens. It's high time folks started calling out the Democrats for their racial appeals. Certainly if you were to flip the coin and a white person were to say vote for me because I'm white, it would be an uproar and deservedly so. So why do we allow blacks to say vote for me because I'm black or Hispanics vote for me because I'm Hispanic? Race is immaterial and everybody ought to be treated the same."

Just because he views all black people the same way doesn't mean he's racist, he's just a consistent judge of character.

These immigrant kids probably have Ebola, says Indiana Republican.

quote:

U.S. Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., suggested Monday that immigrant children from Central America could be carrying the Ebola virus that has killed some 800 people this year in West Africa.

The Munster native, whose district includes Newton and Jasper counties, made the unsubstantiated claim during an interview on Indianapolis' WIBC-FM "Garrison" radio program.

Referencing a conversation he had with U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-Newburgh, who is a heart surgeon, Rokita said they agreed there is a public health risk associated with the federal refugee agency placing immigrant children in the homes of U.S. relatives or sponsors.

"He said, look, we need to know just from a public-health standpoint, with Ebola circulating and everything else -- no, that's my addition to it, not necessarily his -- but he said we need to know the condition of these kids," Rokita said.

Also I understand that each of these children actually hides a spooooky skeleton inside of them! Be afraid of children!!
