I guess as usual, you haven't been listening. They can't repeal it yet, but they can defund certain aspects of the law. If the "new" departments don't have the money to exist, they won't. There will be a huge fight - will obama shut down the government as he refuses to sign the budget bills coming out of congress that exclude funds for obamacare?

Bring it on.

^ True but higly unlikely that the House can get the Senate to overturn a veto. Nothing is going to get done.

Of course you ignore the constitutional provision for over riding a veto, right? Try not reading only the parts that give you a warm fuzzy and strive for the truth. For once.

A civics lesson is in order I see. Whether the senate can overturn a veto is not dependent on the house "talking" the senate into going along. Both chambers need 2/3 rds of voting members to override a veto.

Oh, TP'ers. Your wishes and hopes are all sweet and lovely, but you let your uglier sensibilities be exploited and now you see you were bait-and-switched.

Toldja!

Toldja what?

We've talked about this plenty of times on this board.

I guess you haven't learned the lesson yet. Take note of my posts.

Toldja to look up news and information somewhere responsible, NOT at the RW hate-blogs, and to turn off the Fox Channel. You didn't do it because you needed the hate and distractions the RW media fed you. And now look. Way to go.

The buck does NOT stop at the President's desk. And that is in the Constitution as well.
I repeat, the buck stops at the Senate, such a "repeal" bill will be blocked and not even reach President Obama's Oval Office, let alone his veto pen!

Go back and read your original post. That is not even close to what you posted.

That's because I'm explaining the obvious!

What the heck do you think we have been trying to spare you from all these months? What GOP has been doing is pulling the wool over the conservative voters eyes, AGAIN
