wont a future vote just undo it?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The problem is that SCOTUS may decide a case on the issue that says that it IS not repealable.

Especially if Obama puts a couple more lefties on the court by doing the Chicago strongarm on a couple of conservative SCOTUS Justices to retire ( or die?)early.

I would not doubt at this point thet the Obama Junta is fully capable of doiinng just that. This is not business as usual.

Our option is to withdraw “the consent of the governed,”as Rush calls it.

They should argue before the Supreme Court that it is unconstitutional for the Senate to impose a rule on the House. Article I Section 5 Clause 3 grants each chamber the right to make its own rules.

What happens if the House refuses and decides to pass a bill repealing this? Will the Senate say that they can't? The best that the Senate can do is to vote down the House bill, but they cannot make it illegal for the House to pass the bill.
