I got my hopes up....but then I read this and shake my head.
The bill would have to get through the Senate and be signed by President Obama to become law.
I mean, why bother?
The record of the votes will be useful for the elections this fall.
Because it makes the RINOs APPEAR to be against 0bamacare?
Well you knew that.
It's also the way "it works" to package the things you want in a "must pass" bill and then play hardball with the administration - something our side is NOT very good at, always worrying about how it looks, and the MSM makes sure it doesn't look very good.
Spineless wimps.
We're doomed.

To please the sheep that don’t know any different.

It's one of the first three boxes.
Has FR been invaded by the new castrati? You're upset because they will have to follow the Constitution? You had your hopes up because there was some magic trick they maybe found?

Much better to just roll over and not even try,,right?
This bill will go with the other 20 symbolic bills they passed repealing Obam-ney Care, put on the shelf. Watch them closely as they pass these symbolic bills and then slip through the REAL bills negotiated with Dems for more spending like the highway bill, Those are the ones that get signed into law,
They count on conservatives being easily distracted by symbolic gestures and it seems to work here with many.
Well, the sensible thing to do has two parts:
First, get everyone on record including Reid who will table the Bill. Even if Reid tables the Bill you go after Senators in the Majority's Party and wreck havoc upon them, which leads to the second part.
Second, strong campaign to belittle and ridicule all who want the IRS to go after the individual's inactivity. This is the part where the GOP screws up or purposely roll-over in the name of “reverence of the system” or “compromise” which has no place in politics at all. The only objective to warfare is to establish your will upon your adversary as quickly and forceful as possible.
I think 23 (?) Senate democrats are up for reelection in 2012. They're either going to have to defend ObomaTax or vote against it. Either way, it's a democrat vote loser.
A lot of those democrats - before ObomaTax was spun by Justice Roberts - were in a tight race already.
It's another stick with which to beat the do-nothing, incompetent, ineffective, worthless demonicRats and their out of control spending, reckless borrowing, and oppressive taxing.
