Actually, we have to depend on SCOTUS. They need 60 votes and that’s not going to happen. Even if it did Obama would veto it. The vote will be for show.

Making all of the Senators go on record as for/against is more than just “for show.” It’s something that can be used during the next election cycle. And should Obama veto the repeal, which he likely will, that COULD cost him the next election. It would be a clear indication that he doesn’t give a damn about the will of the people.

“The vote will be for show.” Thanks. The point is that if you can figure out what’s actually going on, someone can come up w/a way to address it.
