The Healthcare bill WILL pass. It will be signed. Also, the Supreme Court will NOT overturn it based on the "Slaughter" situation because the Court generally will avoid any interference with how the legislative branch accomplishes its "voting" on bills.
So, I think its time we start game planning for what we do next. Constitutionality of the insurance mandate? State resistance? Riot?
Update: This comment got out of control so here it is in an update...
1) It isn't my job to motivate you.
2) You being motivated will have literally 0 impact on whether a bunch of crapweasel Democrats do what they want to do instead of what they think they need to do to keep their jobs.
3) Eat my shit.
4) If I or you or anyone in the American electorate had ANY power in the matter I'd be in front of the line screaming and fucking pushing those fucktards toward the correct decision but they have CLEARLY decided that what the public WANTS is irrelevant. They're going for it. The goals of the socialist party can finally be realized and if a few heads have to roll, it'll be okay. They've set the self destruct mechanism and killed the only guy with the code.
Its just a matter of how shiteously they rape the Constitution before they're done. Hopefully they are egregious enough to motivate the populace into supporting a complete undoing of this piece of shit. Probably by two years into the higher taxes with no benefits the economy will be so unbelievably fucked up that it'll be destroyed.
But this bill this week? Passing. Get used to the idea. Its like when people say "Iran won't nuke us because they'll be destroyed." That stupid statement only makes sense when Iran is a rational actor. The Democrats, similarly, aren't rational actors so it will be equally invalid as an argument.
And if that won't stop them, then go ahead and tell me what will. I can't think of anything we have to offer that they want more than this.

There's still hope here. The whip tally is a tight computation as it is, and there may just be too many Democrats who would rather live to fight another day. The Democrat representative from the next district over has been running ads assuring his constituents that he is totally against the bill and has had nothing to do with it passing and please please please please don't hold it against him.
This isn't a done deal yet. There's still hope it can be killed here. Even if it passes, there's still the Virginia AG's impending suit, the possibility that a Republican 2010 House will rip the guts out of it, and a variety of state defiance measures that may spring up. Let's take this one step at a time and not skip over any possibilities until each one is exhausted.

Hey, MP has a valid point - although I haven't given up the fight yet, we've got to face the fact that there's a good chance this shit's fucking happening, without a byyourleave or a thankyouverymuch. And fucking right we need to have some kind of damn game plan to fight this thing if it does pass. We cannot allow America to become an entitlement nannarchy, and we have to do everything in our power to fight back if this shit gets deemed as cool.
It's not cool, and these are our representatives, and we should have a plan to let them know just how not fucking cool it is and where exactly they can shove it. Right around the same place they're fucking us right now.
As for what that plan should be, I'm the wrong girl to ask. I'll show up to the party and bring some chips and dip, but I've never been good at planning the party.

I will oppose and work against any politician that does not pledge to repeal this crap sandwich.

When everything's free, no one is. It's very close to Michael Corleone time. How close, is up to them.

"Sooooooo, party at Embers? She's bringing the whiskey and hookers?"
Okay, but someone else has to bring the blow.
