Today in class, we studied the court case that failed to strike Obamacare down. I learned some very interesting information. The Dems in the hated it. It was NEVER intended to become law. It was supposed to go back and forth between House and Senate, which means today's version would have been unrecognizable. They had 60 votes, so they avoided a filibuster. But then a crucial pivot happened--Kennedy (the Dems' leader) died. In a special election, a Republican was elected to take Kennedy's seat. The Dems said they didn't want that crap (Obamacare), but it was this or nothing. The rest is history.

I never claimed I did. I merely said it was going to be revisited. Obviously, reconciliation is off the table, so do the math.
