Two more key Democrats decided to vote against ObamaCare, Blue Dog leader Jim Matheson of Utah and Ohio’s Zack Space. Space voted yes for the House health bill in November.
It’s 216 votes to a majority. Right now, there are 207 no votes — 217 including the 10 pro-life Stupak Democrats likely to vote no at present, according to Firedoglake. There are just 205* yes votes with no leaners and 9 undecided.
The bottom line: Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to have two roads to victory:
1. Satisfy the Stu-Pak regarding abortion funding language without offending pro-choice members.

Sure, he could. But then the next POTUS could reverse it. That’s assuming he doesn’t *deem* himself The Kenyan King of America for life.

And there is about at least 10 undecideds leaning toward no.

Stupak wants this bill. He will fold like a cheap house of cards.Course he wants this bill. On the basis of the single-payer option being in the bill. This pro-life stance of his is foolish nonsense, its a political cover.

Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not grant Congress the power to regulate health care. These people ignore the Constitution when it suits them and they hold it up in reverence when it suits them. I have ZERO (no pun intended) faith that the SCOTUS will uphold anything regarding Article 1, Section 8 as it pertains to this health control boondoggle. See the Kelo decision for one example and there are many, many more.

I agree. It is precisely the reason why it is incumbent upon the people to uphold the Constitution.

Do you think the Supreme Court would overturn it?

My guess would be they wouldn’t even hear the case. I’m in a bad mood today so I can’t be responsible for my thoughts.

That’s one reason why I was reluctant to call congress-critters - I didn’t think I could be civil.
