Yes, the federal government removed two key sections of the Constitution, one dealing with Due Process and the second dealing with States rights, from a Congressional website.

I helped break this story this morning.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

For those who don't understand the differences between a) spending, b) cost and c) efficiency. Simply cutting spending is not "reducing cost" or improving "efficiency." It is, in most cases, reducing quality as measured by outcomes (because money matters) schoolfinance101.com/2012/01/11/d...

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
