After absorbing the reality of defeat at the polls all across the country in an election that saw gains on the state and federal level for Democrats, expanded the rights of LGBT Americans, defended the rights of women, and showed a clear repudiation of the GOP's platform, Republicans got together and decided they needed to do things differently.

9 lawmakers want to charge U.S. officials who implement Obamacare
By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel
Madison - As Gov. Scott Walker contemplates whether to create a state health care exchange under Obamacare, he will have to contend in the coming legislative session with nine lawmakers who have said they back a bill to arrest any federal officials who try to implement the health care law.
Eight of the nine Republicans also have gone on record saying they also want to write a law that would see airport screeners charged with sexual assault if they conduct overly invasive pat-downs of passengers going through security.
All nine also told a tea party-aligned group they backed passing so-called "right-to-work" legislation; allowing people to carry guns without having to get permits from the state; allowing people to buy raw, or unpasteurized, milk; and blocking state funding for the federal Real ID law that requires states to develop more secure driver's licenses.
But their stance on the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, could cause the most fireworks in the upcoming session. Walker must decide by Friday whether the state will create a health care exchange under the health care law or leave those duties to President Barack Obama's administration.
