Stephen Colbert looks at the race factor behind GOP lawsuit over Obamacare



Last night, Stephen Colbert looked at John Boehner's lawsuit over the mandate in Obamacare in the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision.

You see, last week Eric Holder stood by his previous statement, that Americans are "essentially a nation of cowards" when it comes to talking about race. But Holder could not be further from the—let's say—truth. Because I see only now that executive orders have always been wrong.
