“A vote for the Slaughter rule is a vote for healthcare as far as I’m concerned.”

My concern is that a Federal Judge, ruling on the Constitutionality of the “bill,” would write the exact same thing in his opinion upholding it.

We can't depend on any judges ruling on the constitionality of this. Look how long it's taken to gut the McCain/Feingold assault on free speech and there's still some crap left from it.

If this piece of dung passes, the Republicans need to immediately have a pledge circulated in the Republican party that if elected they pledge to repeal this garbage by whatever means available and make that pledge every election cycle for as long as it exists.

While Obama is in office introduce amendments to the budget to strangle this thing's money source. Do things he can't veto to kill it and in the 2012 elections every Republican nominee for President should take this pledge to overturn it or they get no support from the Republican party.
