Scott Brown winning was part of the Leftists’ plan. Not because Brown was a RINO, but because Obolacare had already passed the Senate (to thunderous applause), and with only 59 Demonrat Senators, the House had only the options of voting for it as is, or letting it die.

To stop funding for Obolacare would take only the President plus either 34 Senators or 146 Representatives, or 50-51 Senators, or 218 Representatives, or 5 Supreme Court Justices (we currently have at least 5 Supreme Court Injustices). To repeal would take: 218 Representatives, 60 Senators, and the President, OR 290 Representatives and 67 Senators without the President, OR 5 Supreme Court Justices.

To get 5 Supreme Court Justices requires at least one current Supreme Court Injustice to die, retire, resign, or be impeached and convicted, and a new Supreme Court Justice to be nominated by Trump and confirmed by 50-51 Senators.

I respectfully disagree. With Ted the Sub Commander dying changes made in the House required it go back through the Senate so they were phuched. Sp they attached it to a spending bill and the rest is history, including Roberts stabbing us in the back again denoting no, rescinding that spending bill will not remove it as law. You and I are probably closer in agreement as a way forward, i.e. getting rid of it, however we will save that one to Jan of 2019 when Mitch better get off the pot and get it done because IMHO he'll be over 60 in the Senate on his side, many of them Trumpsters.
