defunding it happens in the house.
NEXT!!
YES ...BUT it goes nowhere until the Senate passes it...good grief.
NOW..I guess you don’t realize that the Republican elected Senate of 2014 do NOT actually take office until they are sworn in ...in January, 2015 either.
So you can pass all the Defunding you want in the HOUSE, however until the NEW SENATE takes office... it isn’t going to do anything but shut down the government, which was the wrong thing to do the last time.
It took almost a year for the Republicans to overcome that criticism and get the votes. Other screw ups by Zero helped them recoup.
What happened with 2013 defunding of Obamacare:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said again Thursday that any bill that defunds the health care law is “dead” when it reaches the upper chamber. Next week, the Senate is likely to strip the language pertaining to Obamacare out of the bill and send it back to the House, daring lawmakers in the lower chamber to vote against a funding bill mere days before the law currently funding the government expires.
Note that Dec 11, 2014 is another ‘Mexican stand off’ with funding the government or not. Another CR can take care of that, but considering the Democrats are losing seats do you really think they are ‘going to go quietly into that good night?”
Harry Reid and the Democrats are the ones still in Senate power until January, 2015...what do you think will happen with all those HOUSE Defunding bills??
So smart ass...’ NEXT!’ means nothing!
