Defund Obamacare…This Time For Real

Lost in the news about the President’s bungling of Syria, a key vote is about to happen around Obamacare. And as usual, Congressman Eric Cantor is looking for a symbolic vote against Obamacare, while continuing to fund the Obamacare. Same old story.

From the National Review.

A handful of conservative Republicans walked into a meeting with Majority Leader Eric Cantor Monday night anticipating a discussion — an effort to find consensus.

What they got instead was a perfunctory heads-up about his plan for the upcoming fight over the “continuing resolution,” or CR, a bill to continue funding the government when the current appropriations run out. Under Cantor’s plan, the House would pass two different bills, a standard CR and a measure to defund Obamacare. Through parliamentary wizardry, though, the House would keep the Senate from voting on the CR bill until it had also voted on the Obamacare measure.
