All this crap about the law of the land. The law of the land is the constitution john boehner was never going to fight hard on obama care. I voted no on the bill, because this means barack obama got 100 of what he wanted. Senate republicans were divided and became basically an air force, dive bombing the House Republicans and conservatives. It would be hard to gin up this kind of effort again. I just think thats clear. Those are the people who will tame blame for shutting the government down. But the socalled suicide cauc
