Will Senator Harry Reid Give ObamaCare Repeal a Vote?
Today, a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives (the “People’s House”) voted to repeal ObamaCare. Now, all eyes turn to the Senate, but will Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid allow a vote? The American people have spoken. They have clearly rebuked President Obama’s massive pro-abortion tax increase. They have said no to the abortion-pill mandate, the abortion surcharge, and the assault on our religious liberty.

The fight to challenge ObamaCare is over at the Supreme Court. Now, the focal point is Congress - and specifically the U.S. House of Representatives. House Speaker John Boehner put it bluntly: "This has to be ripped out by its roots. This is government taking over the entire health industry. The American people do not want to go down this path.

Justices Question ObamaCare’s Ability to Stand
Today was the final day of oral arguments before the Supreme Court on ObamaCare. This morning the Justices heard oral arguments on the issue of severability – whether all of ObamaCare must be struck down if the individual mandate is found unconstitutional. The court heard several different arguments on this issue.
