....GOP leaders....repeal is politically and legally unlikely...

Repeal would have to have 67 votes in the Senate to overcome a veto while O is Prez, 60 votes in Senate even if GOP wins control of Senate with both difficult if not impossible. Many good constitutional lawyers say it will be hard to overturn on constitutional merits. Guess we have to wait and see, but it certainly will not be repealed in Congress while O is Prez even if GOP wins both houses because of the two thirds needed for override.

I don’t care the votes, if you will not run on repeal, and promise to vote to repeal, you don’t get my vote period. This one is non negotiable.

Otherwise means even when we have 60 votes, we still are stuck with this assault on the very foundations of our country.
