If Obamacare is passed, can it be stopped? (Vanity)

Posted on 08/13/2009 8:19:06 AM PDT by wingsof liberty

Fellow Freepers- I think we have all been inspired by the outpouring of support at Democratic Townhalls in opposition to Obamacare. Even Independents are now turning against it, thanks to Democratic leaders saying its all orchestrated by Nazis, the KKK and that anyone who opposes it is "Un-American." And were not even halfway through August, so lets hope the momentum continues. Worst case scenario: Some think that The One will ram H.R. 3200 through no matter what. Many in Congress dont believe the opposition is real, and may vote it through with a simple majority, AKA "The nuclear option." This would likely be political suicide for them next November. My question is this: If it does become law, it will take years to implement. If we are successful in regaining majorities in The House and Senate next year, can the bill somehow be nullified or reversed? I have heard some Republican lawmakers state their desire to reallocate Porkulus funds that are not yet spent in this scenario. Would they have the same ability to reverse or change H.R. 3200, or will we be stuck with it?

There are many times more guns on the street these days. It’s time for Republicans to live up their obligations. Just too much risk in NOT repealing and trashing Democrat CRAP.

Yes it can. Difficult, but possible.

Future conservative politicians in Congress and in the WH can write new legislation and get it overturned.

Think in terms of past tax hikes: Of course they can be overturned with tax cuts. Or libs on the Supreme Court: they can be countered with conservatives there

I waste less time trying to stop the things that can be changed with some that, once enacted, can not be changed.
Some are:
1. the admission of 20 million illegals as new American citizens
2. the admission of DC or Puetro Rico as new states
3. a nuclear detonation by a terrrist on a US city
