ObamaCare Repeal Fails In Senate

This should surprise nobody, but the attempt to add to a bill an amendment that repeals ObamaCare failed in the Senate last night. The vote was 47 to 51, with all Republicans and no Democrats voting in favor.

The Democratic majority in the Senate late Wednesday voted down a GOP measure to repeal the health care law. The vote was 47-51, largely along party lines.

In classic Senate fashion, the vote on the repeal measure was anything but straightforward. The repeal measure was actually in the form of an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, and the vote was actually on a "budget point of order" and needed 60 votes for passage.

Is anybody surprised, here? Democrats have nothing to gain by voting in favor of repeal, even if they should.

Think about it.


So far, 28 states have filed suit in court against ObamaCare... that's a majority of states involved in the legal fight. And Monday, Federal court judge Roger Vinson ruled ObamaCare unconstitutional... so all those Democrats just voted to retain an unconstitutional law!

It's quite funny... the largest legal case against ObamaCare results in the best researched ruling, and ObamaCare is ruled null and void. Scant days later, Democrats renew their support for the legislation... not to mention their contempt for the Constitution.

Have these "distinguished gentlemen" no honor at all?
