House Passes Three Week Spending Bill

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will introduce the bill to repeal the national health care law today, as an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration bill.
“Everybody will have an opportunity to go on record,” McConnell just said at a news conference.
A Senate GOP source tells me at this moment it’s unclear whether the actual vote will occur today, which is largely dependent on how Democrats react. They could immediately move to table the amendment, it would set up a quick vote.
All 47 GOP Senators are expected to vote for the repeal measure, but it’s unlikely that it would attract any Democratic support, let alone enough to reach 60 votes.

The 27 states suing represent a majority 54 of the Senators. Should not their states inform them how they are expected to vote? How about it Governors, Legislatures, the time is now. Thirty Three states could amend the constitution without Congressional action. Let's recruit a couple more.

@ Al Adab
That seems to improperly imply that your elected representatives work for you. They do not.
Sure you pay taxes, but when is the last time you took one of them to The Palm for a $370 a plate dinner? Sure you vote, but the animals on the television control that (Press one for elephant, two for donkey, and hang up if you have an independent thought because your vote shouldn't count anyway). So...

If this keeps up Senator McConnell will have performed two medical miracles - he will have re-grwn a spine and he will be able to be a father again with other re-grown body parts.
Amazing - we've come a long way since 1 man ranted for a Tea Party18 months ago - Wow.
