Eric Holder to State Attys Gen -

You don't have to enforce the laws if you don't agree with them.

Say what, Eric?

no, that's not what he said - sm

Mr. Holder said when laws touch on core constitutional issues like equal protection, an attorney general should apply the highest level of scrutiny before reaching a decision on whether to defend it. He said the decision should never be political or based on policy objections.

“Engaging in that process and making that determination is something that’s appropriate for an attorney general to do,” Mr. Holder said.

It's the O administration double speak. - You interpret it how you like. I will do the same

Ok, I guess I need to explain myself re doublespeak - Here's one for you = an example: (sm)

I read this one in numerous places, newspapers, internet sites, etc. etc. and heard it ad nauseam. It was exact words:
IF YOU LIKE YOUR INSURANCE, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR INSURANCE. PERIOD.

See what I mean about the O's administration interpretation of things?

I think he not only took responsibility for that - but 'fixes' were instituted and explanat

were made.

If I understand it right he MEANT that if you like your insurance WHICH also COMPLIES WITH THE NEW LAW, you can keep it.

Many of the policies canceled were because they did NOT comply with the new law (and were actually more of a rip off when it came to coverage).

Obama should have been more clear about this - AND deserves a lot of blame for the initial roll out of the plan. I have no problem criticizing Obama when he deserves it.

The other side, in contrast, would apparently rather die a slow a painful death before they would concede even the teensiest, tiniest credit, positive statement, etc. And THAT is where they lose credibility... :))

You hit the nail on the head! - Thank you.

I see you're right in lockstep with what they tell you (sm) - me again

With this administration's penchant for doublespeak, they always come up with excuses and reasons and explanations, hoping against hope that people will believe them and excuse them for it (some call it doublespeak, some call them outright lies - I'm the latter, but I was being nice calling it doublespeak). Evidently some do believe them.

Thanks for nicely making my point. - speaking of 'penchant'

And SOME call it a reasonable explanation for a mistake.

Even while shaking our collective heads wondering how they could have made such mistakes....

Reasonable people understand that the implementation of MAJOR policy changes come with headaches as evidenced by history (also known as research).

You would have more credibility if there was a real public outcry - but right now the lone voices hollering about "falling skies" are hollow.

I think the most upsetting thing to those who oppose Obama/O'care, etc., is that his policies are (so far) NOT the utter failure predicted, and horrors of horrors SOME of the policies may actually be good ones.

can't have that, can ya?

LOL - which ONE is a good one? - She said in a lighthearted tone.

No answer would satisfy - you.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

You didn't ask me - NK

but I'm pretty happy that my great-nieces and great-nephew can stay on their parents' plan while they finish their education.

I also think it's pretty cool that people with pre-existing conditions are no longer denied coverage or required to purchase a junk plan that pays nothing (voice of experience).

And the icing on the cake is that because of the ACA people are now able to seek treatment and my workload has increased because of patients either establishing care or being lost to followup and now re-establishing care because they have insurance coverage. Of course, better than my having more work is the fact that there are people who don't have to ignore their medical conditions now and can actually see a doctor.

Love the last line especially! - VERY well put!

Here it is again: Of course, better than my having more work is the fact that there are people who don't have to ignore their medical conditions now and can actually see a doctor.

And I am one of these people no longer having to pray I don't get a catastrophic illness.

Riddle me this: How does the party of FAMILY values, the GOP stand in the way of this type of progress?

Does it occur to this party that FINALLY, Americans all across the nation can TELL THE DIFFERENCE between a slogan and a POLICY that delivers?

I know I know - NK

[ In Reply To ..]
It really has nothing to do with the ACA or any other policy put forth by this administration, as evidenced by the criticism of even policies originally supported by Republicans. The disdain (I don't think I'm allowed to use the other word on this board)for President Obama has reached pathologic proportions.

Pathologic proportions for some... true - and how smart of you to

[ In Reply To ..]
concern yourself with choice of words! So much for freedom of speech and 'limited moderation of board.'

I am entertained by the creative reasons biased moderation comes up with in order to remove my comments.

Nice try, but offering clarify won't help here - because it interferes with

the agenda. Like when the 'talking points' or 'headlines' are believed without question, or even worse when a story is 'mined' for only the parts that DO meet the agenda.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick Deval Patrick is one of the names consistently floated as a hypothetical replacement for Holder.

Documents obtained by CBS News prove that Holder had been receiving regular briefings on the botched sting operation as early as July, 2010.
