Dog whistle! . . . Wait, he’s a Democrat, never mind.

Defend noted this in his live updates on the hearing but I figure it’s worth its own post.

Via Washington Times:

A Democratic congressman on Thursday called a Republican-led hearing on Obamacare glitches a “monkey court” designed to prevent Americans from enrolling for coverage through the new health care law.

Rep. Frank Pallone, of New Jersey, rebuked Rep. Joe Barton, Texas Republican, for claiming that legal language on the Obamacare website amounts to a violation of health privacy laws.

Mr. Barton pressed Obamacare contractors on the wording, saying they should have raised an objection if they knew about fine print that says people should have no expectation of privacy in applying online for health coverage. […]

Mr. Barton asked the Democrat to yield so he could respond, but Mr. Pallone snapped back: “No, I will not yield to this monkey court.”
