I looked for the 'Total Douchebaggery' forum and couldn't find it, so I posted this on GD.

Here's the middle east, exploding and this POS tries to play grade school bully politics.

This is how a typical, coat lapel, aggrandizing republican "PATRIOT," acts. It's not like the president don't have enough worries lately. And this political gnat(our AG here in Wv) is trying to get in the Commander in Chief's eye, while the bad boys abroad are up to no good and escalating. I can hear it now..."The president can't take your call right now Mr. Putin, he's busy in civil court and won't be back until tomorrow. As the GOPers would say, "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," "FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT," if anyone besides a republican was jacking the CiC around in civil court. Maybe the president should haul the neocons up into court on war crimes. It's not like they didn't do it.

1. My point is...

It's National Security be damned, to the GOP...it's karl rove, or worse, style politics as usual 24/7.

2. A longer more descriptive article...

Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, faulted President Barack Obama for an “administrative fix” last year that burdens states with the cancellation or approval of health-care plans that don’t comply with the new law. Shifting that responsibility to states violates provisions of the health-care overhaul and constitutional limitations on the powers of the U.S. government, according to the complaint filed yesterday in federal court in Washington...

Under the fix, the Department of Health and Human Services “abdicated its enforcement role and left the states solely responsible -- and accountable -- for deciding whether federal law would be enforced,” Morrisey said in the complaint.
As of the end of June, about 8 million people signed up for private health insurance plans using the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges, including 5.4 million who used the federal healthcare.gov system. Rules released last month seek to ensure that most of those customers are able to effortlessly remain covered, as is common in employer-sponsored health plans.
Consumer Advocates
Insurers and consumer advocates have been concerned the new rules may make renewals too complicated or force millions of people back to government websites. Under the proposal, 95 percent of customers who purchased plans through the federal website will be automatically renewed, unless they seek changes in their policy or their subsidies, according to the Department of Health and Human Services....
“By changing the states’ enforcement roles, the administrative fix forces states to become federal policy makers,” according to the lawsuit. “States now fully control the extent to which the eight federally mandated market requirements will be enforced within their respective states.”

I don't see how this is a big deal???

3. Exactly...no big deal, except that...

"Patrick Morrisey, a Republican," is launching a frivolous lawsuit, for some free face time on TV. Costing the taxpayers money, in order to become better known politically. Political Stagecraft, at the taxpayer's expense. The GOP is great at wasting time and the taxpayer's money.

I remember when the republicans had about fifty FBI agents working with the GOP's special investigator, on Bill Clinton's ongoing Impeachment and Whitewater witch hunts. Maybe if those fifty FBI investigators had been working full time on national security matters, instead of peeking into the Oval Office at all hours of the night, the 9/11 hijackers might have been discovered, before, they launched their attacks.
