OK the Senate is unconstitutional. Disband it and repeal the 17th amendment.
Thank God.
>> no Democratic members joined them,
The persuasion must have been significant in spite of the impending reelection consequences.
I actually think this very good news. There was no way that we were going to get the 60 votes so putting another nail in the coffin of some 2012 election Dem Senators is a real plus. They are going to regret their vote.
Yay on the 1099s. I had to do just one this year, and I must have re-did it 10 times. I’m still not sure that I filled it out correctly. I used the carbon forms and the 4th copy was nearly unreadable.
To use the computer forms would have cost me about $70 and I would have had to discard 24 of the 25.
So 16,000 new IRS agents don’t have to be hired?
Love it. On record voting FOR what will be found to be a clearly, blatantly unconstitutional bill. Grist for the 2012 mill.......
I don’t get why this is necessary. It has been ruled unconsitutional and void. The 1099s didn’t have to be filled out anyways. I think the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot.
Good. Now we can properly label all the Democrats in the Senate as socialists.
I don’t get why this is necessary. It has been ruled unconsitutional and void. The 1099s didn’t have to be filled out anyways. I think the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot. I think it actually shows Republicans don’t believe it will be repealed in the long run. Why are they trying to make it better? It’s unconstitutional and doesn’t need to be followed.
It has already been ruled unconstitutional, we don’t need to vote on it again.
The law was just declared UnConstitutional.
But that’s not going to stop the American left.
My guess is Thaddeus McCotter or Doc Steele goes up against her, and the State is in no mood for another Dem status qou type, look at the last election, Democrats in Michigan got their heads handed to them. She is on the bubble and she knows it, It ain't gonna help, people aren't that stupid...
The vulnerable Democrats are hoping SCOTUS declares ObamaCare unconstitutional before Nov 2012.
If so, they can smooze the voters.
That being said the Republicans now need to go full court press on DEFUNDING Obamacare.
At least they trashed that heinous 1099 proposal.
I hope the people of West Virginia reject Liberal Joe Manchin in 2012. He’s showing his true colors once again as an Obama lapdog.
This 1099 bone that the Dems have been offering as a willingness to fix “Obamacare” is a joke. This ridiculous provision should never have been a part of this or any law, so discarding it is no “big f ing deal” in the words of our VP. But please observe the blind party loyalty of the Democrat senators even if they claim to oppose the policy. I wish Snowe, Collins, Murkowski and others had this same instinct when it counts.
51 rats voted for an UNCONSTITUTIONAL law!
This is RIPE for campaign ads.
I think the Senate democrats believe the Supremes are going to declare Obamacare unconstitutional, so they could afford to vote for it once more.
They expect voters to not care about their vote today because Obamacare will have already been killed by the courts by Nov 2012.
These senators believe that the voters are that stupid.
Well they are; look who they elected!
