Here's the math. You need a majority in the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate to destroy the ACA (60 seats).

You can sidestep this with reconciliation, a law passed in 1974 based on a Cali law meant to allow the modification of legislation between the House and Senate with a lower threshold, the aim to correct small differences in their passed legislation without affecting legislation. As you can probably guess, lol, this has been abused and is responsible for Bush tax cuts and the ACA in the first place (the good parts anyway).

To do reconciliation, the law specifically states that a new Congress needs to pass their two pieces of respective legislation by April 15th. That's a majority in the House, and 50+ in the Senate. Also after that, Congress goes for recess, you run into the typical slowdown associated with summer, etc, etc.

So you would have to wait until the following year, a mid-term year. And if this poo poo didn't get passed in 2017, haha yeah right it's passing in 2018. Then you have the fall, with the entire House and 1/3 of the Senate being up for election....

Does that help?

Yes, thank you! I didn't realize that the reconciliation process had the April 15 deadline built-in.

“I think that the presence of ICE agents might have a calming effect on anyone who is passionate, illegal and willing to cross the line of calm and deliberative public engagement,” said Puckett in an email.

“So yes I wouldn’t have any problem with ICE agents (being) present along with any other appropriate law enforcement to answer any questions and maintain an appropriate level of civil discourse.”

it wouldn't surprise me about the first three, but you've got a good point on sanders. my guess if they were doing this as a strategy would be that they are staying quiet so they don't drive the dissenting republicans into support of this thing just to oppose dems
