The White House gave the House Freedom Caucus a final offer as it tries to win support for a bill to repeal and replace parts of Obamacare, but the conservative group's leader said no deal was reached by Thursday afternoon.

The lack of an agreement throws more doubts on a planned Thursday night vote on the legislation. The conservative contingent has threatened the bill's passage, as its members have said the GOP plan does not go far enough to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

President Donald Trump met with the contingent earlier as he and House GOP leaders aim to rally enough support. Following the meeting, though, Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows told reporters "there are not enough votes" to push the legislation through yet.

Correction of a reference.

If the law violates the Constitution, it is invalid law (U.S. Const. Art IV, Sec 4 Art VI, Cl 2).

For future discussion...

What's a conservative? This?

This?

This?

Nobody knows what a "conservative" is.

I stopped calling myself a "conservative" long ago. "Conservative" implies "keeping the status quo". As such it fits perfectly with the "establishment" that is bloated, corrupt, and needs to be blown up.

I fall into the category of loving America, the Constitution, limited government, and freedom. Whatever that is, that's what I am.

If those were federal laws they would be unconstitutional and void.

That was a great argument when Obamacare was passed, and went to the Supreme Court, just ask Chief Justice John Roberts.

Likewise, there is only one thing that will condemn your soul to hell, and that is by not receiving Jesus Christ (John 3:18).

You sound like John MacArthur, both of you are wrong. There will be many who received Christ, but later in life threw belief in Him and belief in His word in the trash, and went after other gods, those souls will be condemned.

Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Man's law are not an issue of your eternal soul because only Jesus is the dispenser of eternal life. Man's laws are an issue of living free and happy on this earth.

You should read your Bible more often.

Daniel 3:10-11

10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

Was the law Nebuchadnezzar passed, "an issue of living free and happy on earth" Don't think something like this can happen again? Sit down and read all of Revelation some day.

I lived in China for a year, while there if I was to pass out Gospel tracts, or preach the Gospel on the street, I would be thrown in jail. How many people go to hell in China and around the world everyday because of laws like that? Don't tell me man's laws can't effect one's eternal destiny, and don't think it can't ever happen here.

All it takes is one evil super majority of judges in all the courts, and every evil you can imagine wiLL suddenly become - "CONSTITUTIONAL"
