In January 2011 a repeal bill was introduced, and of course went down in the senate. So they made good on that promise. Cantor has scheduled an appeal vote on July 9. that will also go down in the senate but will put people on record. So, they are attempting it, but we just don’t yet have the votes. It is up to us to make sure they act on their promise.
Its a near dead duck in the house. However I believe the house can cripple it without senate help in the meantime based on the house taxation priority.
