Without 67 votes in the Senate, it’s all hot air.
The only thing that changes with the new Congress regarding legislation is instead of dying on Harry Reid’s desk, it will die on 0bama’s instead.... Barring enough votes to override a Veto, which is HIGHLY unlikely!
Maybe, maybe not. The DEMS got trounced in this last election, and I think some of them are smelling the coffee. I would like to think that even the RATS would be pi**ed about him overriding their jobs and rendering them useless. It’s possible they might get the 67 votes to override a veto - if so, it would be a feather in their political caps.
Republicans should impeach even if they don’t have the votes to remove the illegitimate usurper from office. Remeber what we did to Clinton? We dragged him through the mud and ruined his reputation for all time. We should do the same thing to the piece of garbage Obama.
Better to have Obama VETO than sitting on Harry Reid’s desk.
Well I think that detail will allow the Congress to fund the government with individual spending bills... and that will be the end of 0bama. He must die on that hill. So expect some squealing.
When the new Congress is sworn in, expect funding bills with HEAVY bipartisan support to head to the Senate for passage then to 0bama's desk. He will try not to sign b/c he is thru if we get individual funding bills - we can then defund bits of government :) - but it will be exceedingly and increasingly difficult for him to choose to veto [or not sign] funding bills.
The major difference is he will not have Harry Reid protecting him - it will be 0bama and only 0bama who is choosing to do this radical non-funding of government.
Most fundindg bills - and especially the earliest bills - will have ginormous bipartisan support and may even approach a veto proof majority [to wit: this article.]
The accumulated weight of his lies has passed the breaking point. Nobody but the 37% of religious dem believers listens to him anymore - in particular dems on the hill. The "You can keep your plan if you want it, period", Fast n Furious, "You can keep your doctor", Benghazi, "You will save $2500 per year on insurance", wiretapping reporters, the IRS scandal, "not a smidgeon of corruption at the IRS", releasing burgdahl, the beheadings, the increase in troops in afghan, ISIL, ... , ... , and now this amnesty.
He has jumped the shark - and I know there's a big bunch of crybabies on FR who are ready to slash their wrists b/c they don't see anything being done but they can't do anything except wait for the new Congress. THIS congress must keep the government going until the NEW Congress comes in. Then individual funding bills. That's all we got [besides lawsuits - which are forthcoming from several levels - and I continue to bark at the FR wrist-slasher contingent here b/c it wasn't long ago many in the same contingent were crying again that a lawsuit was lame... now they want one? jeez.]
I am not pessimistic - I am sad though that 0bama is here. We'll get 'r done.
I think more likely than you want to give them credit for...Democrats become the party of "No?" That is the one misnomer they do not want. We'd all feel very differently if we didn't know about all those bills that died on Harry Reid's desk. The President and Reid's records going into 2016 and 2018 won't look so good on them.
