U.S. seeks health care clarity
The Justice Department asks a federal judge in Florida to narrow the scope of his sweeping ruling striking down all of the new health care law. It seeks to keep many parts of the law in effect while it appeals.
*The Obama Administration, saying it fears “substantial disruption and hardship” if a federal judge does not narrow the impact of his sweeping ruling against all of the new health care law, formally asked on Thursday for clarification on what is to happen while the government appeals his ruling. First, it asked that the judge pare down the practical impact of the ruling. But, if that option is rejected, it asked the judge to say specifically just what he intended to happen while the government appeal proceeds. The motion and a legal memorandum supporting it are here.
#In effect, the Administration was asking Senior U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Pensacola, Fla., to embrace the government’s own view of his ruling. That is, it said, governent officials “do not interpret the Court’s order as requiring them to immediately cease operating programs, implementing Medicare reforms, collecting taxes, extending grants, providing tax credits, and enforcing duties created” by the law for the 26 states that sued, and others who joined in the lawsuit in Judge Vinson’s court. Federal officials, it said, “are proceeding on that basis,” so they are essentially seeking permission to continue to do so.
The approach the new motion took was different from asking the judge to put his entire ruling on hold while a government appeal proceeds. Had the government’s lawyers asked for a stay, that could have been interpreted as a concession that they were bound not to try to enforce any part of the new law unless the judge’s decision were formally blocked. The filing made it clear that officials, as of now, at least, do not feel so bound.
When Judge Vinson struck down the new law’s mandate that virtually every American obtain health insurance by 2014, a mandate that he said exceeded Congress’s powers, the judge concluded that every part of the law had to fall with that mandate. His order thus concluded flatly that the entire 2,700-page law was invalid.
* In other words let us just enforce the collection of fees and taxes and continue to spend as we see fit.
# Please be on our side for the fines and fees because were right and your wrong.

Better reread it again,slowly,letter after Letter!Wisconsin Democrats could stay away for weeks
MADISON, Wis. – Democrats on the run in Wisconsin avoided state troopers Friday and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks, potentially paralyzing a state government they no longer control.
The party's stand against balancing the state's budget by cutting the pay, benefits and collective bargaining rights of public workers is the boldest action yet by Democrats to push back against last fall's GOP wave.
But the dramatic strategy that's clogged the Capitol with thousands of protesters clashes with one essential truth: Republicans told everyone unions would be a target, and the GOP has more than enough votes to pass its plans once the Legislature can convene.
The 14 Senate Democrats left the state Thursday, delaying action in that chamber on a sweeping anti-union bill. Sen. Jon Erpenbach, who was among those who fled, said Friday that the group was prepared to be away for weeks, although he would like the standoff to end as soon as possible.
"That really, truly is up to the governor," he told The Associated Press in an interview Friday at a downtown Chicago hotel. "It's his responsibility to bring the state together. The state is not unified. It is totally torn part."
Erpenbach (URP'-ehn-bahk) accused new Republican Gov. Scott Walker of trying to rush the legislation, calling the governor's style "dictatorial" at times.
Oops holding the taxpayers hostage is gonna backfire like you have never seen before.
I can see it now. One person calls for special elections for those awol and then it's a full blown republican gov.
Then we'll see real progress.

Madison, Wis. (AP) — Democrats on the run in Wisconsin avoided state troopers Friday and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks, potentially paralyzing a state government they no longer control.

"That really, truly is up to the governor," he told The Associated Press in an interview Friday at a downtown Chicago hotel. "It's his responsibility to bring the state together. The state is not unified. It is totally torn part."
Erpenbach (URP'-ehn-bahk) accused new Republican Gov. Scott Walker of trying to rush the legislation, calling the governor's style "dictatorial" at times.
"We all didn't want to do this. I didn't want to do this," he added. "The only other option we had to slow things down, was to leave."
All 14 lawmakers planned to meet somewhere near Chicago to discuss their options, said Erpenbach, who said he had not spoken to any Republican lawmakers since leaving.
Meanwhile, massive protests at the state Capitol entered a fourth day as demonstrators vowed to stay as long as was needed to get the concessions they want.
"Hell no, we won't go!" they chanted inside the Capitol as they banged on drums, sat cross-legged in the halls and waved signs comparing Walker to former Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak.
Thousands of teachers have joined the protests by calling in sick, forcing school districts — including the state's largest, in Milwaukee — to cancel classes.

Hot_Single_Dude: Yeah yeah TT... Keep talking! No body have lost property and so on and the only thing which is lost is Republicans face who shuved upon America that arab nations are full of terrorists only and they all are there to support Alqueda and shi* like that and these events show how lousy and anti human right and lier and crooks your guys really are and how much money your lousy Repubhead guys have stolen from America in their kind of so called war against terror and under coverage of the same thing TT! America media should actually beeing full of articles now a bout how your sad and mad guys bombarded America with BS in order to gettheir greedy hands on presidency back then and how the same kind of BS was used to get power in one of the houses...

You really think that a representative government is coming for Egyptians? You dream Dude.
Either a military strong man hi jacks this rebellion or the MB does. If all that was going to happen was the fall of Mubarak, why then the continued unrest and labor strike after he left office?
You and President Obama are novices. This is when the real bad guys emerge to take control. They say to the Egyptian people....you need a strong man to control the violence. You need the fundamental Islam to control the violence. Maybe they say both. The people buy.....just like the Cuban people bought Castro.
Read Coghlins....Khomenie's Ghost....that reguriated plan of the now Islamic Revolutionary Guard hostaged Iranians.
Bush freed 40m Moslem with Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama lost 100m to radical Islam. Has a nice ring to it, yes?
AGreatGuy2: Get real- TT... I hope you know as well as I do that potential for protests in Egypt have been ripe for the last 10-15 yrs. And not an attempt to bush-bash but its not like a hurricane that you can see developing and moving toward the mainline for days ahead of time.

AGreatGuy2: Get real- TT... I hope you know as well as I do that potential for protests in Egypt have been ripe for the last 10-15 yrs. And not an attempt to bush-bash but its not like a hurricane that you can see developing and moving toward the mainline for days ahead of time.
Check the facts,Great. Obama's people said they knew in August of last year Egypt was ripe for a street protests. Did they put out travel warnings? No.
So the 52,000 Americans were allowed into Egypt without any warning to the coming threat. Think any of those 52,000 would have changed travel plans, if they knew family and friends were going to be in the middle of a Egyptian revolution? I suspect a few might.
Even GWB gave New Orlean and Gulf 4 days advanced warning on Katrina.....
ttom500: You really think that a representative government is coming for Egyptians? You dream Dude.
Either a military strong man hi jacks this rebellion or the MB does. If all that was going to happen was the fall of Mubarak, why then the continued unrest and labor strike after he left office?
You and President Obama are novices. This is when the real bad guys emerge to take control. They say to the Egyptian people....you need a strong man to control the violence. You need the fundamental Islam to control the violence. Maybe they say both. The people buy.....just like the Cuban people bought Castro.
Read Coghlins....Khomenie's Ghost....that reguriated plan of the now Islamic Revolutionary Guard hostaged Iranians.
Bush freed 40m Moslem with Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama lost 100m to radical Islam. Has a nice ring to it, yes?
