Jammed through?Hardly.

There has never in the history of the country been another instance in which a President's signature effort was passed along 100% party lines. Never. Not once. So either you haven't the foggiest clue as to WTF you are talking about, or you have a uniquely bizarre definition of the term "jammed".

The choice to jam Obamacare through in a wholly partisan manner was one of the least politically astute decisions any of us have seen in our lifetimes. The fact you not only don't recognize the "jamming", but you also don't recognize the stupidity of it, is interesting.

It is the sole reason the website fiasco is overwhelming -- Congress cannot be approached for amendment. It is the sole reason the role-out of employer mandates with 40 million kicked into Obamacaid looms ominously this fall -- Congress cannot be approached for amendment. It is the reason Obama has has to break the law and unilaterally change the legislation -- Congress cannot be approached for amendment.

I am actually pleased there are some who are still following the Yellowbrick Road. It will yield the post-mandate world just that much more politically shocking.
