No Conservative should be voting GOP when Congress condones this.

It is simply not the right time to deal with it.

Boehner and McConnel can burn in *ell.

Thank you for referencing that article bestintxas. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Note that Obama is probably going to veto any bill that dares to repeal unconstitutional Obamacare and likewise unconstitutional Planned Parenthood funding. And Obama’s veto is a problem.

More specifically, Congress has the constitutional authority to override presidential vetoes (1.7.2), but only if an override has 2/3 majority vote support of each House of Congress. But thanks in part to the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, even after three elections cycles, enough cycles to have replaced every member of the Senate by now, low information patriots have failed to elect a 2/3 Senate majority that would be willing to override an Obama veto.

The House basically has the same problem.

I keep thinking that if the 17th Amendment had never been ratified then not only would Obama have been removed from office long ago, but we’d have more 10th Amendment-respecting justices too.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, along with corrupt senators, 10th Amendment-ignoring activist justices and Constitution-ignoring Planned Parent administrators.

The other side wins every time.

The elites have made common cause to take our nation down.

The train seems to have no brakes, and be heading downhill into the abyss.

Same place they've been since Obama was elected...kissing up his ass.
