They have the power to impeach Obama, his appointees, and even federal judges who protect him and instead they appeal to unelected lifetime serving judges? I have never seen such a gutless congress. Absolutely pathetic. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Absolutely pathetic. Once power is taken by the government, it is never given back. We will always, from now on, have obamacare, or some republican tweeked version. The Feds don't give up power that we the people give up and give them. NEVER. So, the repubs, knowing it's unpopular, will pretend to go after it. They get to look like they are against it, while not giving up any federal power. “People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.” - Emma Goldman |

With Obama's use of the IRS and DOJ as political weapons, this is EASY to believe. Any lawyer that takes this case also has to face the above, Endless Obama sycophant media attacks and anal examinations, and the threat of crazy libs attacking his family. JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 1930's GERMANY, FOLKS. |

Also the precedent that has been set with this presidency is that the president can do whatever the hell he wants and the only solution is an appeal to a singular judge to "rule" just like the president "rules". We have allowed an oligarchy to solidify itself now and like you said, governments never ever give up power they have been given, usurped, or taken outright.
