Over-reactions From The Excitable Right

UPDATE from WonketteNow that poors can get health insurance because the demon Supreme Court sided with that commie muslin NOBAMA fella, the only way to defend our freedom is armed insurrection! Mount up and ride to the sound of the gun says former Michigan Republican Party spokesman Matthew Davis.

Matthew Davis, an attorney in Lansing, sent the email moments after the Supreme Court ruling to numerous new media outlets and limited government activists with the headline: “Is Armed Rebellion Now Justified?”

Davis added his own personal note saying, “… here’s my response. And yes, I mean it.”

“There are times government has to do things to get what it wants and holds a gun to your head,” Davis said. “I’m saying at some point, we have to ask the question when do we turn that gun around and say no and resist.

UPDATE #2:  Michelle Bachmann is calling this an "activist" court.  Um, Michelle?  Congress is supposed to pass laws.  That's what it did.  An activist court — at a minimum — would have to strike down a law that Congress wrote.  This court didn't do that.

And now back to our post….
