Phase 1 will end Obamacare. The Senate rules for reconcilation with a Budget require what is being done to enable ending Obamacare with just 51 votes. Any other technique would allow filibusters and require 60 votes. No Democrat will vote for repeal.
Sit tight and let the system work. Educate yourself and you will understand.
The Republicans control the senate (and the rules). Change the damned rules already! No excuses! Repeal or bust!!
“Educate yourself and you will understand.”
Condescension is a terrible salesman.
Especially when you are wrong.
Use Rule 19 (”no Senator shall speak more than twice upon any one question in debate on the same legislative day without leave of the Senate”) to get around the filibuster.
RUBBISH
SMASH THE SYSTEM.
Not on board with the Senate under GOP control REFUSING to go nuclear on SCOTUS appointments AND LEGISLATION just like that LIAR McConnell said he would do if Reid went nuclear.
NOW THAT McConnell has the power, he DOES NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
Not addressing the strategy of these bills, just the BIG PICTURE that the REPUBLICAN PARTY WITH FULL CONTROL would refuse to STOMP THE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS over some made up NONSENSE about 51 versus 60 votes.
WHERE IS THAT IN THE CONSTITUTION?
If the CONSTITUTION is out the window, then bring in a Dictator like the Romans did to fix the Republic.
A dictator was a magistrate of the Roman Republic, entrusted with the full authority of the state to deal with a military emergency or to undertake a specific duty.
All other magistrates were subordinate to his imperium, and the right of the plebeian tribunes to veto his actions or of the people to appeal from them was extremely limited.
However, in order to prevent the dictatorship from threatening the state itself, severe limitations were placed upon its powers: a dictator could only act within his intended sphere of authority; and he was obliged to resign his office once his appointed task had been accomplished, or at the expiration of six months.
That is your standard cut and paste response. It shows up on all your responses.
You should get an education. At least finish high school.
Nonsense. 51 votes to Repeal.
6 Repeal bills already passed.
Rules are not laws. They are liars.
Let the system work? You clearly have not been paying attention. It will work just like “amnesty now, enforcement later”. Enforcement is always tomorrow but since it is today, you get amnesty.
These clowns intend to tweak it and run on repealing it for the next twenty years. They think everyone is stupid enough to be bamboozled by their continuing to raise the bar for repealing it. If the had sixty votes they would just ask some liberal to save it, while shaking their heads and asking for a few more seats.
