“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Nancy Pelosi, Queen of Hypocrisy

Here's an update on the lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services by 43 Catholic institutions and dioceses across the nation.  Through it, we learn that Representative Nancy Pelosi (who championed Obamacare) makes this mind numbingly stupid statement:

“Those people have a right to sue, but I don’t think they’re speaking ex cathedra for the Catholic Church. " 

As Ed Morrissey points out, "The problem in this case is that Barack Obama, Kathleen Sebelius, and Nancy Pelosi are trying to dictate ex cathedra their definition of religious expression — in order to curtail it.  The Constitution doesn’t allow them to do that, and the bishops are making that point plain."
