I thought I read that the Democratic-controlled senate will certainly not vote to repeal.

Even if both houses voted to repeal, the president has the power to veto that bill, and what are the chances he would do that? Pretty good, I think. Then they would have to pass it again by 2/3 majorities in both houses to override the veto, which would not happen.

The Senate will get presented with the bill, but the Senate leadership can do what they want afterwards - send the bill to a committee, send it to the floor for a vote, sit on it...

Reid will see to it that the bill is quietly killed.

It'll be another weeks' worth of wasting the taxpayers' money on bullshit anti-Obama showmanship. And this is the party that 'claims' to be so concerned with the debt-oh yea, that's right-only when democrats are in control. When it's the republic party in control "debts don't matter" Dick Cheney

business as usual for the most ineffectual and dogmatic congress in decades.

The teabaggers in the House putting on a show for the knuckledraggers back home.

It will die a swift death in the Senate.

they should have been stoked for the past two years, and ready to set the world on fire. That is all the Repigs have been doing. Sending up smoke signals to the faithful and and the fruity by announcing one idiotic vote after another. Talk about playing with people's minds for your own gains. Personally, I'm sick of watching Cantor's snotty ass droll on about nothing. I am the child of southerners and I love to hear them speak, but this bastard makes me want to do bad things to him because he's singing and grinning and lying to people and lining his pocket with cash. Forgive me, if I'm wrong. Just don't think I am.

on how much it cost taxpayers to "keep the lights on" in the capitol during such theatricals. We should be trumpeting those numbers in the face of the party that claims to own fiscal responsibility; while we're at it, let's do the same for the Issa "hearings" and the vote against Holder.

should call for a vote on President Obama's jobs bill, making the contrast between the Republicans' quixotic political theater over health care reform and President Obama and the Democrats' desire to do something meaningful like help put people back to work. The Republicans won't do it, of course, but at least it will help make the contrast between the two parties stick in voters' minds.

It will never make it to Pres. Obama's desk, and even if it did, he would veto it.

Cantor's repeal is nothing but a publicity stunt designed to throw some bloody meat at the teabaggers.

cause a budget bill crisis, offer to negotiate a trade for cuts in the social safety net, and finally agree to a continuing resolution. If there is a lame-duck session, it will get nothing done. The FY13 budget will not be approved until the new Congress begins serious work after the President takes office in January.

The Budget agreement is dead. Here is where we are:

On June 20, 2012, The Full House Appropriations Committee approved the FY2013 Financial Services Appropriation Bill.
Press Release: [link:http://appropriations.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=300204|]
Bill: [link:http://appropriations.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=300204|]

Some Quotes From the Press Release:

"The bill does not provide the nearly one billion dollars of requested increases for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In addition, the bill prohibits the IRS from receiving transfers from the Department of Health and Human Services to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."

"The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,299,367,000 for Enforcement, which is the same as fiscal year 2012 and $402,303,000 less than the request. Of the funds provided, the Committee recommends not less than $60,257,000 to support IRS activities under the Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement program. None of the funds requested for implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are provided."

"The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,947,416,000 for Operations Support, which is the same as fiscal year 2012 and $528,784,000 less than the request. Of the funds provided, not less than $2,000,000 is for the IRS Oversight Board and $25,000 is for official reception and representation expenses. None of the funds requested for implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are provided."

WHAT DOES THE HOUSE WANT TO DO WITH THE MONEY TAKEN FROM PP ACA?

NEXT STEPS

-- House passes the Financial Services Approp. Bill for FY-2013
-- Senate passes it bill
-- House and Senate negotiate a bill
-- House and Senate pass
-- President signs/vetoes

My prediction: The President will not get this Congressional Appropriations Act until after January, 2013. And, if Obama is president, he may veto it.

This is grandstanding. The Senate won't touch it, nor would the president sign such legislation.

Then all the Republicans will make TV ads paid for by Super Pacs telling how they tried to save America.

They will use it against Democratic H of R candidates. "Look, they are raising your taxes again"

It goes to the Senate.

The Senate Majority leader can bring it up for a vote, send it to committee, or just let it sit around gathering dust.

If it gets a vote in the Senate (it won't) and if it wins (it won't) then eventually it goes to the President's desk where he can sign it (he won't) veto it, or let it sit around gathering dust.

There are MANY more details than those, but you get the picture - as others have said "Nothing Happens."

Republicans lost it. The only way they get it back is by winning the White House and both houses of Congress.

They are going to be sorely disappointed when it turns out that Americans are sick and tired of their grandstanding bullshit.

The bill will 1) never be brought up in the Senate and 2) never be signed by the President.

It is a monumental waste of time mistakenly calculated to score political points at the expense of the GOP House doing something - anything - about jobs.

I believe that is the current accurate count of repeal bills passed by congress. They are apparently voting on one every few weeks.

It goes to the Senate where it will fail, and if it passes the Senate? Its VETOED!

to waste taxpayer money and time. They have sworn to to Grover Norquist.

"We were only following orders!"

It is designed to force Dem reps in red districts to break from the party.

It's a meaningless pander.

#1 Congressional filibuster.
#2 Senate majority.
#3 Presidential veto.

The republicans can cry all they want, they have no means of repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at this time.

what will happen when it passes the House of reps (which no doubt, it will) and got the answer 23 times already

and Cantor gets to bemoan those evil lieberals who won't let him take away health insurance from millions of Americans a bloo bloo bloo.
