Its now almost 15 hours long and its all in an eattempt tow dee fund its all in an attempt to defund the Health Care Law. L the thing about this is its kind a procedural curiosity. It doesnt happen often anymore although senator rand paul did d do it not too long ago. Very view familiar think very few people think its going to have the effect to Fund Obamacare including republicans. President obama has said that ha is going to veto this bill. It becomes i simply away to draw attention to the issue. Well take a look right now live on the floor of the senate. Peaking in now on senator tedort cruz who is in his 15th hour of this. T well listen in for effect. People across texas and across this country. Not a one of these letters hasrs said im independently wealthy,a cruising on my yacht in the caribbean. Ribb and yet obamacare has crimped by style. 2 41 tuesday afternoon risini in opposition to the bill hisl h own party passed in the house. It keeps the government operating but strips away any a money for Health Care Law to be implemented. Statemocratic controlled senate plans to put it back in the bill and kick it back to the house and cruz is trying to keep talking to prevent harry reid from making changes to the measure. While republicans are opposed to there o Health Care Law g. O. P. Leaders are not happy about this crew vaid. Theres not enough votes in thev senate to stop the changes he is opposed to in the house bill. It defunds this law but doesnt increase government g spending by a penny and keeps the government from shuttingting down which nobody wants. I just dont happen to think dying a bill that defunds obamacare is the best route to defunding owe obamacare. All it does is shut down the government and keep obamacare funded and none of us want that. This becomes a political hot potato. The house said its the way they want to doaid things.
