Agreed! (Unless of course one of the Supreme Court guys gets paid off to make a change in the bill and call it something that even the WRITERS OF THE BILL said it wasn't!!... You know, like calling something a tax when it was strictly stated by the writers that it wasn't ....stuff like that).

If you don't like it then you need to pass a new bill that says "never mind" in the house and senate and have it signed by the president. PERIOD.

Or defund it to protect the citizens of this country from something so egregious that it simply defies description. Since Congress has, by law and definition, control of the Country's purse, what we are seeing is simply an exercise of those laws.

This applies to all laws whether they were passed and/or signed by a Democrat or Republican. We can't let a handful of idiots change the way we do things. This time they are republican idiots. Next time it could be democratic idiots. and the next time and the next time.

Well, Republicans didn't pass Obamacare, it was forced on them just like it was forced on the rest of the Country. They are simply trying to stop it. So this time it's Democrat idiots, but in principle I agree with you.

You lost. Accept it and go about getting your side elected so you can change it.

God, do you have any idea how tired I am of hearing that silly statement?
Like it's the battle cry of the Democrats. "You lost.. accept it"
NO MY FRIEND, I didn't lose. THE COUNTRY LOST WHEN A BUNCH OF GREEDY, MISINFORMED AND UNINFORMED PEOPLE, that thought they were going to get something for nothing, elected this SOCIALIST to the White House. One whose AVOWED objective is to "FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE" America. WE ALL LOST!!!!

And start doing your job in the mean time. There have been House and Senate budgets since spring that have not gone to a committee to get hashed out. If you did your job negotiating the best you can get, WE WOULD NOT NEED A CONTINUING RESOLUTION.

My job? I'm DOING my job. I'm pointing out the truth to uninformed and misinformed people. If they don't want to listen, there's not much I can do about that except to keep trying.
Oh, and for the record, the DEMOCRAT controlled Senate, that is REQUIRED by law to pass a budget every year, (and because of their majority has the power to override any opposition from the Republicans), has not passed a budget since Obama came into office 5 YEARS ago. In fact, in 2012 the Democratically controlled Senate, by a vote of 99 - 0, voted down Obama's proposed budget. At the same time, the Senate also voted on four Republican budget proposal/blueprints, which were all defeated. There's the reason for your continuing resolution. So why don't you do YOUR job and write them and DEMAND that they do their job???!!!

OH!!! RABBLE RABBLE!!!
Still not sure what you mean by that.. ...but ...oh well...
