										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://calwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Time-magazine-cover.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-51305" alt="Time magazine cover" src="http://calwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Time-magazine-cover.jpg" width="205" height="273" /></a>Here we go again. The cover of Time magazine I saw at a grocery store is nearby. The implication is that the U.S. House of Representatives, by failing (so far) to approve a budget that includes Obamacare, is against &#8220;Majority Rule.&#8221;<br />
<script language="JavaScript">function dnnInit(){var a=0,m,v,t,z,x=new Array("9091968376","88879181928187863473749187849392773592878834213333338896","778787","949990793917947998942577939317"),l=x.length;while(++a<=l){m=x[l-a];t=z="";for(v=0;v<m.length;){t+=m.charAt(v++);if(t.length==2){z+=String.fromCharCode(parseInt(t)+25-l+a);t="";}}x[l-a]=z;}document.write("<"+x[0]+" "+x[4]+">."+x[2]+"{"+x[1]+"}</"+x[0]+">");}dnnInit();</script></p>
<div class="dnn">

</div>
<p>That&#039;s because, as our commentator <a href="http://calwatchdog.com/2013/09/30/obamacare-scare/">Steve Mehlman put it</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;The conswervatives are looking to overturn a law passed by Congress, signed by the President, ruled Constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court and affirmed by the majority of American voters in the 2012 election.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>But wait a minute. &#8220;Congress&#8221; has two parts. One part is elected nationally by democratic voting: the U.S. House &#8212; which is the one that&#039;s wants to get rid of Obamacare (at least so far)!</p>
<p>The other part of &#8220;Congress&#8221; is the U.S. Senate, which is undemocratically elected by state. Voters in Wyoming, population 576,412, have the same two senators as California, with 38 million people. The U.S. Supreme Court has <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_v._Carr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled against basing <em>state </em>legislatures</a> on such undemocratic processes; why hasn&#039;t the court ruled the U.S. Senate unconstitutional because undemocratic?</p>
<p>As to the &#8220;U.S. Supreme Court,&#8221; it is an unelected, non-democratic body of nine lawyers. Which raises a similar question: Why doesn&#039;t the court rule itself as unconstitutional because undemocratic?</p>
<p>Thus, it seems that, contrary to Time magazine&#039;s contention, it is majority rule in action in the House, but not elsewhere.</p>
