Hatch: Healthcare bill 'rich' for challenges on constitutionality

By Tony Romm

Democrats' healthcare legislation is a "target-rich environment" for constitutional challenges and legal battles, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) wrote on Saturday.

The bill's provisions for an insurance coverage mandate, a manifest Medicaid expansion and new insurance exchange all violate key sections of the country's guiding legal document, wrote the senator in the Wall Street Journal, along with Kenneth Blackwell, a senior fellow with the Family Research Council, and Kenneth Klukowski, a fellow and senior legal analyst with the American Civil Rights Union.

1. Kenneth Blackwell? That fucking loser?

That's the sorry bastard that was Secretary of State for Ohio in 2004 and is culpable in stealing the 2004 Ohio electoral votes and the election for Bush. Kerry really did carry Ohio, and Blackwell lost for governor that year. The stupid bastard could steal Bush's election but he lost his so badly he couldn't steal it.

2. Can you imagine being in league with

Ken Blackwell? How desperate does one have to be?

3. Wouldn't you just know

Ken Blackwell would end up involved with the Family Research Council and Liberty University? They're like repositories for all the loyal Bushies who are too stupid to end up in a real job, but too useful to be cut loose.

Bleccch.
