More states join the fight against Obama's toilet tyranny agenda

Caleb Howe:
President Obama's plan to put men in women's bathrooms isn't going so well. Just a few days ago we told you about 12 states fighting back against his decree that public schools pull the switcheroo or lose funding. Now even more states are on board. On Wednesday, Louisiana and Pennsylvania both blasted Obama's power grab.

Louisiana's Attorney General Jeff Landry announced that he was fighting back in dramatic fashion, sending a letter across the state to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, Board of Regents, Louisiana High School Athletic Association, Louisiana School Boards Association, Louisiana Community and Technical College System Board, and Office of Juvenile Justice declaring that Obama has "no legal authority" for the action.
...

He joins Texas and other states in making direct threat of legal action to protect the state from Obama's unlawful threats. And that's not all.

In Pennsylvania, a different sort of fight, as State lawmakers stand up against Federal overreach.

Pennsylvania House State Government Committee Majority Chairman Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) and 96 of his colleagues signed and sent a letter to President Obama calling his decree "spurious" and an "unconstitutional intrusion".

Again note that, as with every other state fighting this, they cite the law, the constitution, and Obama's abusive federal arm-twisting. Not "we hate transgender kids" or "down with gay marriage" or whatever other fake and grotesque emotional ploy the left throws out in their attempt to hide the true transgression. It's intolerance of abuse of power and subversion of the law, not intolerance of people.
...
It does not hurt their legal arguments that the majority of voters in this country think Obama's edict is nuts.  Attempting to cast the arguments of the proponents of mixed gender toilets as a new civil rights struggle also is not selling.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
