I've been reading about a story out of South Carolina, where a mother who let her nine-year-old daughter play in a park - with dozens of other children and a cell phone - while the mother worked at a nearby McDonald's, was arrested for "abandoning" her child.

Obama's old law professor from Harvard thinks there's a chance it won't survive.

President Obama’s old Harvard Law professor, Laurence Tribe, said that he “wouldn’t bet the family farm” on Obamacare’s surviving the legal challenges to an IRS rule about who is eligible for subsidies that are currently working their way through the federal courts.

“I don’t have a crystal ball,” Tribe told the Fiscal Times. “But I wouldn’t bet the family farm on this coming out in a way that preserves Obamacare.”

If there's one sure way to get folks riled up - it's to slip into their counties and conduct operations in secret.

This type of policy is bound to backfire - and this is not an isolated case.

Since an elected sheriff is the highest law in a county - it bears out that the Feds would inform the sheriffs of what's going on.
