House to prohibit IRS from implementing healthcare law (Just don't fund it)

The Hill ^ | 7/2/2012 | Pete Kasperowicz

After defunding it, make the tax penalty so minimal that it becomes irrelevant.

[jimbo123]

The Senate would also need to pass this and the Kenyan would need to sign it for it to become law. Just a bunch of Kabuki from the GOP-e.

[ScottinVA]

Yep.. $.01.

[dougiefresh]

Since the Senate refuses to pass a “budget,” wouldn’t the allocation of this money need to come from a continuing resolution? Therefore, the Congress can prevent this funding from taking place.

Dirty Harry Reid ain’t passin nuthin......but gas.

From the article:

The bill would have to get through the Senate and be signed by President Obama to become law.

Nice gesture by the Republicans. However this will die in the Senate. And, if by some miracle, it was passed by the Senate, you know there's no way nobama will sign it.

[tobyhill]

Defunding is merely not giving money to it and Reid has no role in it unless the GOP really wants to keep Obamacare.

We "oldies" remember this is how the Dems forced us out of Vietnam.
The very same Dems who sent us there in the first place. "Hey-hey, LBJ ..."

Wait a minute, WAIT A MINUTE!!! Where do you think a large part of that money went that was intended for recovery... is it not already in their pockets to spend however they like?

[tobyhill]

That’s The Hill’s false choice. All appropriations have to pass the House so all the House has to do is not fund it.

This “repeal” talk is nothing but another GOP attempt to bamboozle Americans into thinking there’s little they can do.

[dps.inspect]

Well, I will vote for Romney more a a conscientious objector to Obama... if there is a viable third party for next time around, I'm there.

[cotton1706]

“Yep.. $.01.”

Reminds me of the Parsons Cause case with a young Patrick Henry, who told the jury that they’d have to find for the plaintiff but they needn’t pay them any more than a farthing. And the jury did just that, one cent!

[LibLieSlayer]

“That finding allowed the individual mandate to stand, and Republicans have already started reorienting their attacks against the law based on the knowledge that it only remains in place because it is an allowable tax.”

Well then... someone had better get that leftist romney on the red phone and tell him... because he argued the opposite position.

Bingo! More than a few want to keep all or major parts of this 2,700 page monstrosity.

Political Elites know that they must control the rabble. Does anyone remember Harry Reid bragging about the remodel he had done so he would not have to smell those little people coming to visit their his capital?

[LibLieSlayer]

This is just a little game that the republicans play... the only game the republicans have left is one that has no teeth and no effect on anything other than for propaganda purposes. They all disgust me.

There will never be a viable third party as long as we are willing to wait until the next round. GOPe have been telling social conservatives the same story all my life, and yet we have a moral decay of the society that would make Sodom look tame.

Bingo!...”Criss Cross” as Danny Devito said in ‘Throw Momma From The Train’.

[Defiant]

The Senate will never pass it, but even if this became law (say, after January 2013), it would be thrown out pretty quickly. Some waif would file for their benefits under Obamacare, and the court would say they are entitled to it, and order that it be provided.

The only thing to do is repeal Obamaberts Care.
