First they lie to you, and then they ask you for money.That's the essence of the great Tea Party/Ted Cruz crusade to "defund" Obamacare, a political and constitutional impossibility. The question was settled, probably for good, when President Obama won re-election in 2012 and Democrats kept control of the Senate.Instead, it's about TV face time and harvesting donations from gullible voters misled both about the Affordable Care Act itself and Sen. Cruz's nonexistent chances of ending it.A narrow Republican majority in the House can't void the Affordable Care Act any more than 54 Senate Democrats can force everybody in Oklahoma to eat broccoli. Anybody who tells you differently is a flim-flam artist.No federal court could rule otherwise.
