Well, not really. The idea of “on to Congressional repeal!” would be fine, except that we now live in the era of everything-must-pass-the-Senate-with-60-votes.

They passed this monstrosity with reconciliation, they can repeal it with reconciliation. 51 votes controls the senate. 51 votes can change the rules of the senate. 51 votes and the courage to exercise that control is all we need.

That occurred to me, actually.

But I suppose I am expecting the GOP to not use that. As you note, it would require courage.

Even so, perhaps that can become our battle cry in January: reconciliation, repeal, or else (though our cry of “or else” grows weaker as each year passes...and freedom grows dimmer)
