For me this is a defining moment. This is where we find out who is who.
Either this bill is flatly and patently unconstitutional, or we’re just dickering over terms.
Either we go for an outright repeal and repudiation or we’re just arguing about the wallpaper. If thats all thats left, then its meaningless to be GOP. We’re just Thrifty Democrats. We’ll implement their agenda, but we’ll do it for less money.
Granted, that a motion to repeal will fail now. But we’ll declare war on it and the war will finish, perhaps after November, perhaps down the road, but we should make it clear that nothing gets done without a fight until this thing is eighty-sixed. First we’ll defund it and then we’ll kill it. Any Repub reaching across the aisle between now and then needs to be defeated at the earliest opportunity. If McConnell is trying to get on my radar, he is succeeding.
Very well said. The GOP has indeed become unprincipled, irresponsible, anti-Constitutional, thrifty Democrats.
