How long, do you suppose, will it take for the MSM to report this?

Oh, right. They won't.

1. Not to worry. Scalia, et al will come to the rescue
And dream up some new reason why republicans are immune from the law.

2. With the proviso, as always, that the ruling is not to be taken as
precedent for subsequent Democratic administrations.

3. Federalists and neocons don't dream
They scheme.

This was always about securing a unitary executive and they've succeeded. Not without help from the Dems, either.

It's taken us 232 years to come full circle. There's only one question left. Is the grand experiment dead or will the people retrace the steps they took so long ago to secure our inalienable rights?
