I participated in a town hall type live chat with AG Rob McKenna this afternoon and was asked to submit my opinion on a poll. The question was whether I did or did not support his filing suit to stop the HC bill. The results ended up 50/50 for and against. IOW 50% of the viewers supported bigger govt.

What amazes me is how many citizens are willing to throw the Constitution under the bus for "free" hc. They obviously don't understand the cost of liberty.

And I'm very confident that our arguments are going to prevail at the end of the day. There may be bumps on the road here and there. There are a lot of technical issues here. But this is fundamental — this is one of the most fundamental cases ever brought before the Supreme Court or the courts of this country on the separation of powers. And on the powers of the states that attorney generals historically defend in smaller ways every day in our court system than the intrusion of the federal government. But this is far beyond anything ever done before.

So, I actually believe that at the end of the day, we're going to have a majority. We're going to have at least a five to four decision in our favor. We have to get there first.
