Why do people keep talking repeal? The Republicans do not have the numbers in Congress to repeal over a veto or even pass a repeal through the Senate.

All they CAN do right now is defund... that’s it.

Even the Dems are going to feel increasing pressure to repeal a totally unworkable law. It is "possible" that in the near future a "scandal" could so totally destroy the Dem Party reputation that more Dems would switch to Pubbie. There are hints of such a scandal, we shall see.

There are those of us are just expressing our opinion that we want it DOA. Drive a stake through it. There is nothing wrong with that. We just want make sure it will be gone period. Politicians have a bad habit of lying. They may defund it; but will they kill it completely when they have the numbers?
