RUSH: Ron in Cincinnati, welcome, sir. Great to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you, Rush, and it\u2019s a delight to speak with you, and it\u2019s my honor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. Well, my point today, Rush, is I\u2019m watching what\u2019s going on in Egypt right now —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hm-hm.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — and I just have to wonder if we conservatives and we true patriots in America, if we might not have our own day of departure, and if we could drive our elections forward by whatever time frame we can get it done by, and change regime here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You mean like get a couple hundred thousand of us to go to Washington and say, ‘Leave, leave, leave\u2019 and maybe Vladimir Putin will get on TV and say, ‘Yeah, Obama, you better get out of there.\u2019 Something like that, is that what you mean?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And I gotta tell you, I would suspect that if we really had a shot at it, you\u2019d get more than a couple hundred thousand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) <\/p>\n

CALLER: Don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) It is true, and I get your point, I get your point. The Egyptian government and the world needs to listen to those people in the streets in Cairo. Doesn\u2019t matter, could be the Muslim Brotherhood, could be Al-Qaeda, could be al-Zawahiri, could be Ahmadinejad, could be Bin Laden. Mubarak needs to listen. Meanwhile, forget showing up. Look at the election returns last November. Has a message not been sent? Look at the polling data on Obamacare. I\u2019m not prepared, by the way, to forget this. That bill is still unconstitutional. We still have an administration engaging — the Drive-Bys don\u2019t like me to use this word, but I don\u2019t know what else you\u2019d use, lawlessness? Obamacare is unconstitutional. The judge said, ‘I don\u2019t need to issue an injunction. The ruling suffices as an injunction.\u2019 Democrats say, ‘There\u2019s no injunction. He couldn\u2019t be serious about this. We\u2019re gonna keep doing it.\u2019 <\/p>\n

This regime knows full well the vast majority of the American people are against it, in opposition to most of its policies. Doesn\u2019t matter. We\u2019re not being listened to, the American people, the majority of whom are seeing their government behave and govern against their will. In Egypt, 1%, one-tenth of 1% of the population says so and there\u2019s Obama on the phone, ‘Hey, Mubarak, scram, start listening, like I don\u2019t.\u2019<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Linda in Edgewater, Florida, and thank you for waiting. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you for taking my call. I have to say mega dittos.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, my gosh, I can\u2019t tell you. But, anyway, you touched on the subject earlier about the federal court judge deeming Obamacare unconstitutional?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What I would like to know is why aren\u2019t our attorney generals from the 26 states or the senators and representatives running to the courthouse to file a cease-and-desist order on the federal government? Because at this point they\u2019re in contempt, and they\u2019re still implementing Obamacare, spending the American taxpayers\u2019 money on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t really know. I think that there\u2019s probably some strategery taking place among these AGs as the best way to approach this, who wants to do it. I can tell you that Wisconsin\u2019s governor and another governor have simply said, ‘It doesn\u2019t exist. We\u2019re not gonna implement it here.\u2019 The governors have spoken. ‘Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell said Thursday he has asked his attorney general to advise him on whether implementing and enforcing the federal health care overhaul would put Parnell in violation of his oath of office.\u2019 He believes that enacting the health care law may violate the oath of office that he took. <\/p>\n

‘Parnell told reporters that he took an oath to support and defend the constitutions of the United States and Alaska. While the Republican governor concedes the issue is expected to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, he said he has a duty to uphold the law and wants Attorney General John J. Burns to advise on what that duty is after the Florida ruling. ‘I\u2019m caught between a federal government that says, ‘You must pursue this, you must pursue this,\u2019 and I have the duty to uphold the rule of law,” which the judge says don\u2019t pursue it. <\/p>\n

So, I think, Linda, like what\u2019s going on in the Middle East, this could become contagious. I think you\u2019re gonna see more and more governors stepping up — when you have the governor of Alaska refusing to implement this… I mean you\u2019re gonna have, I think, a lot of people stepping up, attorney generals, governors, but believe me, going on behind the scenes is a strategery, I\u2019m sure, on how to go about this. But it is mind-numbing, is it not? A federal judge has ruled this law void and the administration is pretending that it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I have to admit, I ain\u2019t had much book learning like all them smarties there in Washington —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I haven\u2019t had much book learning, either.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, according to them, we\u2019re a bunch of dunderheads. But who was that troglodyte, Dick Durbin who cited Article 1, Section 8, you know, the commerce clause, that he\u2019s still allowed to implement Obamacare?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I don\u2019t get it. That\u2019s like putting a dress on a pig. It\u2019s still a pig.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, don\u2019t insult the pig.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I apologize.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is utter defiance, is what that is. I mean to come out and claim that the commerce clause allows them to do this, it\u2019s just utter defiance. Look, this is the Democrat Party, folks, this is who it is. This is the modern-day left. This is how they go about things. Rule of law is secondary to them, to their agenda. Look, they have been governing against the will of the people ever since Obama was inaugurated. So this is well within the pattern of behavior they\u2019ve established. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The lady did have a good question. Why is there no action from one of these AGs or governors to actually enjoin the federal government from implementing Obamacare? I don\u2019t have the answer to that, but I have to think, as I said, that there\u2019s some strategizing going on about how best to approach this. It\u2019s a gold mine sitting out there. The federal judge has decreed that Obamacare is unconstitutional. He has voided it. They are violating the Constitution as they continue to implement this. So I\u2019m sure that rather than rush — because everybody knows it is gonna go to the Supreme Court, and maybe part of the strategy is, let \u2019em go ahead and violate the Constitution, let them just continue here. Most of it doesn\u2019t get implemented \u2019til 2013, 2014 anyway. Let them behave in an extraconstitutional manner for a little while, and let the evidence of that pile up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
