ROBERT GIBBS: Efforts to repeal ObamaCare won’t get past the Senate. That’s okay. Make ’em vote for it again. . . .
UPDATE: Reader John Miller emails:
Yes, you make the Senate vote on ObamaCare again.
You make them vote on a lot of things.
Were I in Boehner’s shoes, I’d be preparing a long list of very short, very simple bills, each covering a single issue with broad public support.
Race-neutral enforcement of civil-rights laws.
Sanctioning ‘sanctuary cities’.
Voter ID.
Forcing the DOJ to implement the voter-roll cleanup provisions of HAVA.
And so on. Single-issue bills that can be read by any voter in five minutes.
Run them through the House and, should a few more of these Senators staring 2012 in the face decide they don’t dare oppose the bills, we get to see Obama double-talk his way through vetoing motherhood and apple pie.
Yes, great idea.
UPDATE: Read this from John Boehner. And my Sunday Washington Examiner column — written, alas, before I’d seen this Boehner column — has some similar ideas, though I wish I could have made it a response to Boehner’s piece today.
