I’m not “feeling sorry for myself”. I’m FRUSTRATED. And I have no recourse.

As to your second point, I didn’t expect this to pass the House. Surely you have read what these people have voted for! I am STUNNED that this bill with its tax hikes and provisions for illegal aliens got a majority!

So now I’m nervous: what makes you so sure it will fail in the Senate? What makes you so sure that the court system (after being packed with a bunch of Obama Judges) will strike this down?

You’re damn straight it makes me scared!

Well, first, sorry if I mistook your frustration for self-pity. In me, it’s indistinguishable.

Second, I do get how bad the bill is, and I did not say anything to suggest how I think it will do in the Senate.

Third, as for SCOTUS, it is not yet “packed with Obama judges.” Nevertheless, FDR attacked SCOTUS with the threat of adding new judges to get the result he wanted, so yes, something similar could happen again, or something even murkier.

The point is this. When we run within ourselves to chaotic, agitated thinking rather than facing down our foes with clear minds and indestructible determination, we give the game away, we grant our opponents power over us to which they are not entitled. We have too many people depending on us to give in to the rich luxury of frustration, however reasonable it may seem to do so.
