*IF* it mattered, the recent 'defunding' by the House [or lack of *allocations*] to major parts of it wouldve stopped it dead already...but the monster is still rollin along, with cash being diverted to it in God knows how many ways to implement it...the train is outta the station, frankenstein is in the countryside, horse out the barn etc...
a bare few CONgresscritters give two $h!tz about the will of the constituents...its all about the 'greater good' if they even consider the people at all, beyond their next election cycle...even at that, *if* they get voted out, they usually have their own backup plans, or perks for life anyways...
so far the commie plan has been pretty well thought out, and implemented in such a way as to keep the sheep grazing, even across the span of decades...sure we appear to win a few battles here and there, but i believe the war was lost, so to speak, long ago...at least the stealth theatre of ops...
its coming down to the 'make it or break it' phase of their plan...bambam was the perfect vehicle to mash the throttle...
to me, the only variable to this contest will be how many 'loose ends' and unlocked shackles remained to guarentee their takeover...the inability to secure all the personal weapons seems to be a glaring miscalculation on their part...or was it a lil false sense of security for the final solution ???
How many GOP votes did the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" get in the House?
If the SCOTUS throws out obamacare, or the mandate, it will be more difficult for Obama to continue. I don't say it is impossible for them to win back the House, but if Obama conjures up an EO to nullify the SCOTUS ruling, that would be very interesting. In fact, I don't think he would even try it, although he will try to expand medicare, medicaid, etc.
All of this is moot if Kennedy votes with the left though.
