>Have you EVER seen anything OVERTURNED? Do you see that as a possibility? Really?<

In major bills, no, with the exception of prohibition.
BUT, consider this. This Bill only passed by a vote of 5 in the congress. In the Senate they barley will have 60 in a senate where they could get much more and hardly any of these votes were republican.

The country is FIRMLY against health care at this point and when the reality of the damage it has caused is evident they will be stampeding their congressional offices.
Even the leftists have bitten off more than they can chew and hard core socialists like Olberman Matthews and “Ed” are calling for it to be killed.

I actually saw Olberman demand it go away for a correct reason - that it forces americans to do something that they may not want to do. The mandate.

So the left and zombies may not be any more happy with this than us in the end. It may even get people off their duffs from watching dancing with the stars and make a call to congress or *gasp* vote in 2010 - 2012.

What I have seen a lot of is “non- funding”. They may not overturn a bill, but when it comes to budgeting for it yearly, they simply don’t. They either vote to withhold the money to run the program or let it die in congress. That happens frequently and will probably end up being the legacy of this bill.

Obama Pelosi and Reid has vastly overreached their powers, the American people have become irate and believe that their popularity is waining day by day.

Evidence of this is here

Am I concerned? YES - VERY
Am I unhappy with this? YES

But I can not see these people having much power after this either. I think that they have created a vacuum where they have spent every political dime to pass this and over spent their clout. I think they have now become virtual lame ducks living in a glass bowl.

We shall see.

To: Munz

You make some great points Munz. Of course you could be right but as has been discussed many times, these people don’t care about the ramifications of what they are doing which indicates that they have ‘further’ plans to deal with the population. They’ve been too confident and that confidence is based on something besides arrogance (imo).
