"We are so screwed"

I wrote that back on election night 2008. The vote today is exactly what I feared...

The socialist one is about to get his so called "Health Care Reform". This will mean huge tax hikes now when our economy can least afford it and no "benefits" for four years to make the CBO score look good.
Everyone knows the numbers are bogus and they don't care.
They know how the people feel and they don't care.
The approval numbers are in the crapper and they don't care.
Some know they will lose their seats and they don't care.

The only hope is that the opposition party will run on "repeal the bill" and turn enough seats in the mid term elections. I think this issue will give control of both houses to the R's, but I doubt majorities will be large enough to sustain the inevitable veto of the repeal legislation. And will the rage still burn in 2012?

The ratchet tightens...

Randy Barnett has a good breakdown of the possible legal challenges to this legislative catastrophe. I kinda like the Constitutional Amendment idea...
