US senator to appeal Obamacare lawsuit

[hue]

MILWAUKEE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson says he plans to appeal the dismissal of his lawsuit challenging rules that call for congressional members and their employees to seek government-subsidized health insurance through small-business exchanges.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/1pPBiMo ) the Republican from Wisconsin made the comments in an opinion piece running Sunday. He says he feels compelled "to exhaust every legal recourse" as he challenges President Barack Obama's executive actions.

U.S. District Judge William Griesbach had ruled in July that Johnson and his aide, Brooke Ericson, didn't have legal standing to bring their lawsuit because they hadn't been injured.

7. Correct me if I'm wrong...

9. Before people jump over this guy,

If the government is doing something we don't want them to do, we are all going to find a way to peacefully fight. People are going to sue. If there is any merit to his argument, he'll win. If not, the court will strike it down and he'll live with it.

Imagine if a repub administration made church attendance mandatory. There would be 200 lawsuits filed before the ink was dry. You wouldn't just accept it, just because it was a law. You'd fight.
Let him have his day in court. He'll lose and walk away with his head low.

11. I agree with him having his day in court.

I disagree with your last sentence. Yes, he will lose, but he will not walk away with his head low, he will wear it as a badge of honor. He is, after all, a teabag repug. They know no shame.

10. I hope to hell (or some deity of your choice) that this is coming out of his pocket
