I dunno, a vote where you have 41 pro-abort Dems adamant to filibuster any defunding ... wont go anywhere. That will have to be refought in 2012 budget.
Actually the BIG deal would be to get the EPA regs repealed, and both Houses of Congress have a majority for doing it. We MUST repeal the EPA carbon regs. That could easily get to Obama’s desk.
I am ALL FOR refighting any of these we can in the debt ceiling raise... we need to
1) Rebaseline the federal budget to an 8 year balanced budget in order to allow an increase in the budget.
2) Defund obamacare
3) end the EPA regs
4) pass taxpayer protections
“2) Defund obamacare
3) end the EPA regs”
Obama via Reid won’t allow the first one, and he intends to enforce EPA regs directly through his head of EPA since he knows cap and tax would never pass Congress. Can they get EPA’s funding cut? Don’t know. Doubt we can get the Senate votes to defund obamacare, so the best bet will be to continue having the courts declare it un-Constitutional, even unto the SCOTUS. The mandate should make it a definite, I’d think.
Looks like the beginning of much in-fighting among the Repubs - something the Dems and LSM will eat up and cover incessantly.
Ronald Reagan would NOT approve of that.
