Here is video of Karl Rove tonight talking with Greta Van Susteren and saying he believes Obama's Health Care Speech shows Obama has chosen a "Democrat only" strategy in which he will ram through a Health Care bill with 50 votes in the Senate, with Vice-President Joe Biden as the deciding vote. Rove said others did not take Obama's words that way, but he does.
Rove also talked at length with Greta about the possible ramifications of Obama ramming a bill through Congress using the "Nuclear Option." . . . . (VIDEO)

and is there a legal counter to this?
There sure is a political counter.
Voters will revolt against Dems, vote them out, and the Republican Congress and President Palin will repeal 0bummerCare.
The communists WILL use the “nuclear option” to pass CommieCare. They have been waiting 60 years to bring America down. It’s do or die time for the commies. A good “crisis” like this only comes along once in a century. Right now, the commies could really give a crap what Americans want. We’re getting CommieCare whether we want it or not. Americans have lost control of their government.
The anti american left have waited 200 years to destroy America. They have suffered through Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich. They can’t stand an optimistic can do attitude. They hate individualism. And, They have watched American values spread throughout the world.
This is their one chance to destroy America and they are going to try to grab the brass ring.
If the situation were reversed, and the Right wing had the votes, we would go for the jugular too with a income tax repeal, slashing govt., and SSI reform.
If the Republicans have any brains....EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE will run in 2010 on a repeal health care crap platform.
I agree 100% with your post.
The MAJORITY have lost control of their government....but then enough of these idiots voted this communist in. Now we're getting what was paid for by Soros, SEIU, AFLCIO, UAW, the trial lawyers, GE, the black radicals, ACORN, the Islamofascists and who knows who else..
I agree with Rove completely. That speech last night was NOT one of reconciliation and bi-partisan outreach. I thought he made it very clear that he was giving the middle-finger to the GOP. I'm not sure where all the confusion comes from in the chattering class.
Then, my suspicions last night were confirmed this morning when only Dems were summoned to the White House. He easily could have summoned McCain, Hatch, Bennett, Lugar, Voinivich, Snowe and Collins if he wanted to go "bi-partisan". But, he didn't. Those 5 or 6 Republicans could have easily been picked off if Obama was willing to give in, just fractionally even.
Rove may be one of the best head-counters in the business. If he's right about using Biden to get to a majority, it will be very ugly with respect to fallout next November.
Can't be done in 2010. You will need 67 in the Senate and 290 in the house to overturn an Obama veto. If we win every senate seat in 2010, we get to 56.
The ‘rats must really want to lose in ‘10 and ‘12 by unprecedented landslides... The only gotcha to that happy thought is that they are not (completely) stupid and have to realize this too. That means they must plan on satisfying a whole lot of their agenda as fast as possible before getting crushed. That can’t be good for America.
As long as all those Congressmen/women and Senators know they’ll be in the unemployment line in January 2011.
Sign seen at a health care townhall meeting:
You can jam it down our throats in 2009, but we’ll shove
it up your a$$ in 2010!
Our Dear Community Organizer In Chief has his minions (ACORN, crooked attorney generals, biased judges, etc) vigorously pursuing a number of avenues to ensure every significant election's outcome is known before the election is held, preventing the return to sanity and freedom you suggest.
Two can play that game. When the conservatives regain congress, we should have no qualms about using our own nuclear option. Our first action should be to impeach Obama.
These communist bastards are forgetting that they need 5 votes on the SCOTUS to survive the legal challenge to their unconstitutional BS and just like in 2000 when they tried to steal Florida they will come up one vote short.
Too late. I MEAN NOW. What is the balance?
Federal court?
Short tar & feathers (if possible, use stimulus funds)
If President Obama is a real believer in Marxism, as his background would suggest, I wonder if real goal is create a more violent political climate? If that is the case, I could see it would suit his purposes to be as partisan as he can to force both sides to their most extreme position. If a back lash happens and the Republicans gain a majority in Congress in the next election, he can use the situation stir up more radical opposition to them as was done in the sixties against Nixon. In the end, he cares not a wit for the future of the Democratic Party - it is just a means to an end.
LOL thats a BIGGGG ‘if’. The republicans are dem-lite anymore. Im more apt to look at a person apart from party. In fact big party suck-ups usually don’t get my vote. Right now both parties are playing the ‘What’s best for my party/reelection’ game. They’re not tending to the business of the country.
