From Rep Louise Slaugheter (D-NY):
But hold on a minute, didn't Ms Slaughter and other Dems do the exact same thing in 2006 against W? Well, yes.
Today's word is hypocrisy. Can you say hypocrisy boys and girls.
Quote:The suit, which sues the president for unilaterally changing a core provision of ObamaCare, is a "political stunt," declared Ms. Slaughter. Republicans have "timed" it to "peak . . . right as the midterm elections are happening," said the ranking Rules member. Having failed to stop ObamaCare, they have chosen to "run to the judicial branch." And, she lectured, a "lawsuit against the president brought by half of the Congress" is "certainly" not the "correct way to resolve" a "political dispute."
But hold on a minute, didn't Ms Slaughter and other Dems do the exact same thing in 2006 against W? Well, yes.
Quote:In an April 2006 Huffington Post piece titled "Taking the President to Court," Mr. Conyers explained that he was "alarmed by the erosion of our constitutional form of government," and by a president who "shrugged" about "the law." After "consulting with some of the foremost constitutional experts in the nation," he had determined that there was "one group of people" who were "injured" by Mr. Bush's lack of respect for "checks and balances": Congress. So he was "going"—or as Ms. Slaughter might put it, "running"—"to court."
