I have to mention a quote in this Portland Press Herald article: “Incoming AG weighs fight over health reform.”
See, apparently the new Maine government is joining legal fight against the Affordable Care Act (a/k/a “Obamacare”).
Here’s the quote regarding our new Tea Party Governor:
LePage also said he recently learned that if 35 states join the lawsuit, the law “dies, automatically.”
Not true, according to outgoing Attorney General Janet Mills.
“That’s not the law,” she said. “A congressional act does not get voided or overturned simply because a certain number of state officials join some lawsuit. I don’t know what he’s talking about.”
Ha!
Doesn’t that sound like a “fact” that you’d see in some email forward sent from the same person who sends out weekly computer virus warnings or cell phone marketing scams?
And now he’s our governor.
Thanks everyone who voted for Mitchell, Moody or Scott!
