Norm Ornstein is a resident at the American Enterprise Institute, which is not exactly a liberal think tank. Other residents include John Bolton, Lynne Cheney, and Richard Perle.

Ornstein slams our own nitwit Sen. Mike Lee and others in his article.
The Unprecedented—and Contemptible—Attempts to Sabotage ObamacareDoing everything possible to block the law's implementation is not treasonous—just sharply beneath any reasonable standards of elected officials.
"When Mike Lee pledges to try to shut down the government unless President Obama knuckles under and defunds Obamacare entirely, it is not news—it is par for the course for the take-no-prisoners extremist senator from Utah. When the Senate Republicans' No. 2 and No. 3 leaders, John Cornyn and John Thune, sign on to the blackmail plan, it is news—of the most depressing variety."

If Obama would stop breaking the law and only enforce a part of the law that he signed, there would be no need for Lee to do this. He has absolutely no authority to decide that the employer mandate will be put off until 2015, whoch only a fool would think that it isn't a political move to stop the Democrats from getting their asses handed to them in the 2014 mid term elections.

Either enforce the law or repeal it. Lee has my full support.
