The affirmative sabotaging of the website, while not exactly surprising, is nonetheless breathtaking. Sabotaging the website doesn’t do anything to Obama, nor does it advance any particular part of the GOP’s goal to defund/repeal. No, what it does is fuck over the people that actually want to get insurance—people who understand that the ACA represents their only opportunity to get some level of coverage.

Tying this effort to civil disobedience is to completely distort the term. Then again, co-opting history, language, etc., is, unfortunately, something that conservatives are quite adept at doing.
