URGENT - Call Your Senators Now. Tell Them to Vote NO on These Amendments 12-3-2015

[ChamberedRound]

Even if the Senate and House passed these amendments, Obama would have had to sign a repeal of Obamacare to make them law. As pyld said, nothing here but theater.

Not if the House, which has a sizable majority after the last election cycle, could muster up enough Democrats to ally with them and override the veto.

What we need is a federal single subject law so this bullshit of adding unrelated amendments stops.

While I agree we need a germane-ness clause at the federal level, there have been times where this has benefited us as much as the other side.

And to add my $0.02 to some of the discussion earlier in the thread regarding Toomey: I'm done with Toomey. DONE. I won't vote for Sestak if he runs, but neither will I vote for Toomey; that column will stay blank this election cycle for me. I'm tired of Republicans thinking they can get away with this crap simply because they play on the supposed belief that they're the lesser of evils. The 2A isn't a "cause", it's a constitutionally protected right; they don't get to pick and choose whether or not to support it.

Neither side should be playing the tack on game. If the law isn't good enough to pass on it's own merits, it shouldn't become law.

I completely agree, I just think we all need to recognize the inconvenient truth that "our side" is just as guilty of employing that tactic as the "other side" is.
