'Obamacare—the Affordable Care Act—is both imploding from its own dead weight and conversely exploding in the face of the Democratic Party as we head toward the 2014 midterm elections.

Liberals and progressives may not be communists (some are), but they are surely the most deluded political class on planet Earth.

About the only good news is a lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation that contends that Obamacare is unconstitutional because the bill originated in the Senate, not the House.

The Supreme Court needs to revisit Obamacare to redeem itself.

Obamacare is the “perfect storm” for the Democratic Party. It will swamp them in 2014.'
