That will give them time to come up with a permanent replacement for Obamacare. If they managed to get that passed by both houses, then the ball is in Obama’s court. If he doesn’t sign, then HE is the one causing millions of people to lose their health coverage.
I do wonder about some of the people here. I suppose if they fought a war, they charge the enemy yelling and firing like mad. Ever hear of tactics? Subtle stratagems? Setting up your opponents to take the fall?
“I do wonder about some of the people here. I suppose if they fought a war, they charge the enemy yelling and firing like mad.”
No, they would be standing on the sidelines demanding that some one else “charge the enemy yelling and firing like mad.”

Ah, but you give the Repubs in Congress too much credit. They do not know tactics, only the white flag.
