Just hoping that the Republican majority in both houses next year recend the legislation by the same tactic....

They won't be able to do that.

They will need a 2/3s vote to override a guaranteed Obama veto. It will never happen.

Then shut the government down until he signs it. Call his bluff. Tell Obama to sing the repeal or start the revolution, his call.

You are correct but I put this forward. The resentment towards this bill is so strong, it is possible that the democrats suicide pact will damage them beyond their expectations. The Republicans could very well end up with those 2/3 majorities.

Finally, even with a simple majority, I believe that congress controls funding. Starvation is thy ally.
