Tea Partier files frivolous suit over Kentucky health reform

As disappointingly weak as the 2010 health care law is, it's still way too much for the Tea Party thought police to handle.

The law lets states establish a health benefit marketplace. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear did just that - making Kentucky one of 17 states with its own health care exchange. Now some Tea Party nobody is suing, claiming Beshear needs permission from the legislature first.

Nice understanding of separation of powers there, Tea Party genius. Just another teagagger who thinks the legislative branch is the only branch of government.

This controversy could have been avoided though if we had single payer - which the Tea Party also opposes.
