John Boehner threatens to overrule the American people on behalf of the American people
by Kaili Joy Gray

Unnaturally orange whiny crybaby and Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has found something new to be a whiny crybaby about: women's health care.

Actually, it's not new; he's been whining and crying about that for years. But yesterday, on the floor of the House, he issued a new threat:

If the president does not reverse the Department’s attack on religious freedom, then the Congress, acting on behalf of the American people and the Constitution we are sworn to uphold and defend, must.

Acting on behalf of the American people? Which American people would those be, Boehner? Certainly not the majority of American people who support the president's new policy to require insurance coverage of contraception. Which probably has nothing to do with the president's rising approval numbers, right? Total coincidence, I'm sure.

But that's cool, Boehner. You keep threatening to do unpopular stuff "on behalf of the American people." Let's see where that gets you and your party with the American people come November.

4. He needs to be careful

They are harping on the separation of church and state as outlined in the constitution.

If we were to follow the letter of the Constitution would it not be that all language relating to any religion be removed from all laws. Thus removing any perception no matter how far fetched that the state is endorsing that religion by granting it special privileges by exempting it from the enforcement of the law.
