The fringe-left nutters, of course, view that as the holy grail: a huge step on their socialist road.
But imagine my surprise when I read this:
Betty Sue Morris The Affordable Care Act is law and when you were sworn in your pledged to support the constitution and laws of the state of Washington and the United States. I think you[sic] responsibliity no[sic] is to help implement the law in this state as effeciently[sic] as possible. No sense arguing about it any more.
This is the kind of thing said in Nazi Germany after the elections that put Hitler into power.
This was the kind of thing that Germans attempted to use as a defense in Nuremberg at the War Crimes Trial.
See: they didn't do anything illegal because Hitler and his henchmen just changed the laws to make it all legal.
In the Soviet Union, the concept was referred to as "democratic centralism."
Democratic centralism is the name given to the principles of internal organization used by Leninist political parties, and the term is sometimes used as a synonym for any Leninist policy inside a political party. The democratic aspect of this organizational method describes the freedom of members of the political party to discuss and debate matters of policy and direction, but once the decision of the party is made by majority vote, all members are expected to uphold that decision. This latter aspect represents the centralism. As Lenin described it, democratic centralism consisted of "freedom of discussion, unity of action."[1]

In short, from Betty Sue Morris's world, once a bogus law has been shoved through a joke of a system, the time for defiance has come to an end, and Representatives like Pike have no other alternative but to obey the Party.
We see this in other areas concerning the democrats:
The CRC scam, for example. Morris is one of it's more rabid supporters. Most democrats are around here. The decision, you see, has been made. No further discussion is allowed.
Certainly, no opposition is allowed... even thought the people were absolutely ignored when this crap pile was formulated and the effort to ram it down our throats started.
There is no lie, exaggeration, twisting of fact ts or costs involved in this scam that make any difference. The decision, you see, has been made.
Resistance is futile.
Take a look at the democrat snit when Tom and Sheldon decided to caucus with the GOP in Olympia.
Man... that kind of defiance is simply NOT allowed... and that big tent they lied about so much during the Boldt debacle simply caved in upon itself.
Morris spent a great many years in elective office. I really had no idea this was her philosophy, because, for example, through out the Bush Administrations, I failed to ever read word one from Morris concerning Bush policies and laws that passed through Congress while he was running the show.
Bad law is bad law. It was passed on a sea of lies. It has done exactly the opposite of what it was promised to do.
And instead of questioning everything about it, former Representative and County Commissioner Morris simply sits there, crosses her arms and says:
"You vill obey."
That's not how it works when you're not a democrat.
Rep. Pike's concerns over this horrific debacle are well placed. Morris's demand for acceptance is beneath contempt.
But Obama has shown a total disregard for both law and the constitution since in office and never a peep out of Morris.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, sorry. I forgot, he's a Democrat too.
The deal in America is: we use the democratic process (voting, courts, self-interest) to make a decision then everybody abides - especially our elected officials. This is THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE that keeps us from killing each other.
ReplyDeletep.s. It doesn't mean you have to change your mind.
