New RNC Chairman's Law Firm Calls Obamacare Constitutional

I have been warning for a few months now I don't believe Republicans are going to repeal Obamacare. What we are seeing now must be political theater.

It's coming out now that the new RNC Chairman Reince Priebus's law firm is on record claiming Obamacare is Constitutional. Think Progress, a liberal rag, found the connection and word is spreading quickly in the Tea Party ranks.

On January 14, 168 standing members of the Republican National Committee (RNC) will hold an election to select the next national chairman of the party. Current RNC Chairman Michael Steele is running for a second term against a number of challengers, including Saul Anuzis, Ann Wagner, Maria Cino, Gentry Collins, and Reince Priebus.

Priebus, the current state chairman of the Wisconsin GOP, is positioning himself as the true conservative alternative to Steele…

Despite his heated anti-Obama attacks, Priebus makes a living at a law firm far more comfortable with the policies of President Obama. Priebus works as a partner at the Milwaukee law firm Michael Best and Friedrich LLP. Over the summer, the firm created a series of presentations to explain health reform to its clients and to pitch the firm’s services for employers looking to comply with new health reform regulations. In one presentation, John Barlament, a colleague to Priebus at the firm, said that a health reform repeal is not only unlikely, but that the lawsuits brought by Republican Party allies to declare the law unconstitutional probably have no merit.Referring to the controversy over the individual mandate, Barlament explained that the commerce clause of the constitution “gives Congress authority to act on his legislation.”

Are you really surprised considering this guy led the Republican party in Wisconsin, a place affectionately known for its outrageous liberalism as the People's Republic of Madison?

Should we consider any Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare a joke at this point?
