Oh yeah—they will try and ram every obama dream down voters throats. The ones who have lost seats will do it out of spite and the others will hope voters will have forgotten in another 2 years.

This is right now my greatest political fear. They still have the same majorities in both houses that enabled the (deemed) passage of the healthcare abomination, so if they really want to cram something down our throats then only a weeks-long filibuster could stop it (and that's if the Demons don't find some way to corrupt that out of the way of whatever they want to pass).

Crap and Tax is my biggest fear - and on the gun front I have no doubts as to what the statists (on both sides) would like to do. All I can say is that if a massive new tax or a massive new intervention in our lives is imposed on us in the middle of the night, using Constitutionally questionable (or blatantly illegal) procedures without debate or chance of review, then there will be HELL to pay. They do that kind of shiite, and some of them may not be able to get out of the country. People have just HAD it with everything about the District of Criminals, most especially the arrogance emmanating from that fetid swamp.

No, Scott Brown, the forty first vote, is there now. After Nov 2, the five appointed senators from CO, WV, Il, NY and another state that I forget, who win or their opponents who've won are sworn into office immediately, if their respective state laws say so, IIRC. Maybe it will be only three of those five, the remaining two in January.

The House didn't deem it after all. They took a roll call vote here, "On Motion to Concur in Senate Amendments," for the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."

Getting those 60 votes will probably be even harder. The rats have stifled their gun grabbers for 44 months now. Do you really think they want to squander that for some outrageous crap that will truly come back to haunt them?
