“largely along party lines”
Masters of understatement.

“they have been eager to show they are trying to follow through on their promise”
And, it doesn’t hurt to get those Dem senators up for re-election in 2012 on the record as voting for an unconstitutional bill.

Every Single one of the Democrats are officially Communists, they think they can stop us, but they will wind up in the Unemployment lines they have been so happily making.
Send up a repeal next week and a week after that and the week after that WITH a promise that if they continue to defy the will of the American People they will NEVER be allowed to hold public office again!

Hey...vote to get these LIB anti-Americans on record but a federal judge ruled this BS bill unconstitutional. So for now, it is unconstitutional. Hold the FEDs who try to enforce this in contempt of court. We already know they are in contempt of the Citizens.

so 51 senators voted to thumb their nose and a federal court ruling. Obamacare is null and void and unconstitutional. %1 senators voted to disregard the Constitution. this will not end well.

It will make a great campaign commercial against those 30+ Democrat senators up for reelection in 2012!........

The Republicans lost a big bargaining chip by allowing the 1099 provision to be repealed alone. Stupid strategy. Obamacare just became a lot more palatable to many people, and Republicans/Tea Partiers got nothing for it. Stupid.

I bet one of them was Lisa Murkowski.
She is catching all sorts of flack lately about the lack of pork (earmarks) coming to Alaska. She won her election because she promised the natives and the unions that they would get a free Federal ride.

The change is supported by the White House, and Democrats are pointing to it as evidence of their willingness to tweak - but not repeal - the law. The House last year failed to pass repeal of the 1099 provision despite bipartisan support, and must take it up this year before it can go to the president's desk.The House better kill the 1099 provision. The idea is to kill the bill, not improve it. The Senate made a huge mistake by passing this amendment. It gave Obama another victory.

Interesting to see how it will play out now that this judge ruled it was unconstitutional.
