... “If the Republicans win the Senate,” says Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute, “the conclusion they’re going to draw is ‘obstruction works [emphasis added],’ ...

I recently ranted in a recent thread concerning Sarah Palin and the Senate that Palin is overlooking the following concerning winning the Senate in 2014. If patriots and former Obama supporters can get their acts together for the 2014 elections and win 2/3 conservative majority control of both Houses of Congress, then Congress will be positioned to do the following.

In stark contrast to the tunnel-vision comment by Norman Ornstein concerning obstructionism, and the likewise uninspiring comments by Thomas Mann and Neera Tanden, if patriots were to aim their sights high enough, a conservative-controlled Congress coming out of the 2014 elections might just have the power, under the Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to override presidential vetoes. In other words, Congress would be able to repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare, for example, without Obama's signature. That's a far cry from obstructionism.

But since conservative leaders like Palin, Orstein, Mann and Tanden are evidently not as familiar with the Constitution as they should be, the blind are once again leading the blind and conservatives are going to lose two more years in their misguided effort to win the Constitution back.

NEVER HAPPEN.
