    democracy in action, folks.
    They can say what they like, but one congress cannot bind a later congress. Only the constitution can do that.

    At best it can be taken to mean that THIS 111th Congress cannot repeal it, but the next congress (which starts in January 2011) and any later one can.

Once the people are dependent on the state for their very lives you'll never see small government, pro-liberty constitutionalists in power again. Ever. Period.


    Folks I think we have to face the fact that Obama has already "fundamentally transformed this country" beyond the point of no return and the only way to roll this crap back is with some sort of "reset button" (be that a Constitutional Convention or a dissolution of the union ... a con-con will end up making things worse since the progressives will write all sorts of new positive rights and eliminate many rights related to liberty, and secession and/or dissolution isn't going to go any smoother or peacefully than it did last time it was tried).

    America is dead ... the corpse just hasn't started stinking yet.
    AGREED.

    Damn ... I was hoping I'd see a bunch of responses disagreeing with my pessimistic take on things ... telling me to stop being so negative and pointing out how wrong I am.
