Why? What’s the point in making any laws?
Yes, I am becoming jaded.
Meaningless with a President who will veto, but the Congress will not do what he must to fight back.
I suppose the Republicans will agree to support this, too.
will the FCC ever release the New Rules they voted for or are they waiting for Obama and Friends to write them
All the democrats and just the right number of Rino’s will vote against it; that’s just the way it is...
Yeah, good luck with that.
They will trim your toe nails as your leg is eaten by gangrene.
We need a constitutional amendment that says any government agency that wishes to hand down a regulation, that regulation must be submitted to congress, as a stand alone bill (no attaching it to any other legislation so it cant be hidden and snuck in nor held hostage to other amendments) for a vote. It must pass both houses of congress. And if passed, has to be signed by the president (the president can also veto it if he chooses).
No more of this handing down arbitrary regulations that is automatically law without having been passed by congress.
The GOP will roll-over on this, too, the first time someone say “Boo!”.
Yep...and Mitt Romney would be doing the exact same thing...right?
Hope you losers who stayed home in 2012 are happy with your decision. I guess it was worth it to you to allow a Marxist 4 more years to finish his destruction of our nation.
Pfft!
If the “money boys” want Obamanet, we will get Obamanet. The GOPE only cares about money, period!
They need to tie the amendment to the Debt Ceiling Bill or some other Must Pass bill. That’s the only way it will work.
Vetoed.
Next.
Remember that in the penalty/tax decision there was also a decision that the Fedgov could not withhold funds from States that didn't increase Medi-care due to Fedgov over-reaching the Commerce Clause. Justice Roberts will have to fly high in a Cirque du Soleil contortion to argue against what he already ruled.
Basically, States cannot be extorted to provide benefits due to Fedgov withholding returned tax receipts. That was a huge win for States' Rights. We'll see how they try to distort, spin, parse, massage that ruling. Doubt they can.
Half-life of this bill: About two weeks. It’ll pass the House, go to the Senate, where dems will filibuster it, then pass a counter-bill, which will go back to the House after Reid orders no conference, and Boehner will wave the white flag.
Republicans can then brag about their record of failure with the claim that they should be given credit for having good intentions.
