Seen this stunning video, yet?
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made yet another embarrassing admission about the lack of constitutional analysis that went into the HHS anti-conscience mandate on Thursday.
At a full committee hearing of the House Education and Workforce Committee Secretary Sebelius was repeatedly questioned by Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC) on whether she had consulted Supreme Court precedent or any official legal memo before publishing a rule that burdens religious liberty of employers. Under the mandate, almost all employers are forced to provide and pay for coverage of abortion-inducing drugs and contraception — regardless of any moral or religious objections to such services.
Watch Rep Gowdy completely and utterly destroy Sebelius’ claim of ‘balance’ over her HHS mandate:
Gowdy proved that there was no legal basis for the mandate – it was purely political, and another sure loser for the Obama administration in the Supreme Court.

Wow… “uh, I defer to the other uh, smart people that told me it was ok, they were, like, lawyers and shit.” Idiocracy is coming folks.

Idiocy isn’t coming, Datou, it’s alive and well and flourishing in D.C., has been for at least decades, if not at least a century.
All Sebelius’ work on this amounts to is an attitutde prevelent in this administration of “Let them eat cake.” And she personifies such an attitude, and can’t understand why she is so misunderstood, since she has the purist of intentions.
