Mark Levin is my favortie radio host and has been a favorite of mine since I learned to know about him and Landmark Legal. It is great to listen to someone who understands the law and how it relates.

[UpInArms]

Thank you for posting info like this. I can not watch any of it. We paid a lot of $$$ for our new TV and I am afraid it won't survive the day unless it is only tuned to sports.

Years ago someone here asked if duct tape could patch a bullet hole in a TV screen. LOL

It may be time for a "Tar and Feather" party. Tar the creeps that vote for this and cover them with the feathers of shame. Ride them out on a rail in November.

[MEG33]

I fear Stupak will fall for it..He’s a dim ..Prayers continue.

Terrible in that it means they have the needed total, but good in that it could mean someone changes their mind to avoid receiving unprecedented waves of hatred from across the country for being the one that pushes it through...

[SE Mom]

I’ve just switched over to ABC- ready to rumble!

[PhiKapMom]

Republicans are going to vote against Stupak amendment because their constituents know they are pro-life and this is one chance in million to kill the bill. They understand how bad this bill is and the focus on abortion is a side issue as they understand Obama and his promises are not worth a thing.

[zzeeman]

Yes, I have just read through the early AM pages to get caught up.

I have not had a lot of faith in thinking that Stupak or his ilk would "save" anything. I'm not sure if it makes sense or not, but to me it was like hoping that an arsonist, that supposedly loved fish, wouldn't burn down your building because he knew that it had a bowl with a goldfish inside.

Tell Nancy that the way we count it is:

The First Yea, passes the bill,
The Second Yea passes the Bill,
The Third Yea passes the Bill,
The Forth Yea passes the Bill, .
.
.

The passing vote dooms your party.

[patlin]

There is no Stupak amendment. Obama is trying to make a deal with him using an EO.

[Fu-fu2]

If the vote is delayed, that will be the reason. They have to pass it by more than one vote.

PER DRUDGE

[zzeeman]

“tar and feather” doesn’t seem to be enough at this point.

[Tuxedo]

Of course they need more than one vote to pass - otherwise the ads across the fruited plain are too easy: “Congressman So and So was the deciding vote for socialized medicine...” The base will be motivated regardless as will the rest of the populace. We will know who voted for it and every one of them is a target. Yes, I said Target.

[newfreep]

Has Levin expressed optimism in getting this monster overturned by SCOTUS?

[PhiKapMom]

That’s even dumber to depend on ZERO.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

WE WILL GET THE VOTES”

Translation: We’re not done bribing yet

[Tuxedo]

With so far up to 38 potential lawsuits and various other measures being taken by the States, I see a serious delay in implementation. Just need a few good Federal judges to issue a stay. It worked with the Line-item Veto.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

None of these members wants to be the deciding vote’

If it’s so good for America, who WOULDN’T want to be the deciding vote? Or are they scared of something?

[SE Mom]

HOLY SMOKES!!!! Karl Rove is tearing these leftists to SHREDS.....

WOW- I have never heard him quite this passionate about anything.
