Senate Dems plan late-night protest over ObamaCare
By Jordain Carney - 01/09/17 09:50 AM EST

Senate Democrats are planning to hold a late-night talkathon Monday protesting Republicans push to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

The protest comes as Democrats face an uphill battle to block Republicans from repealing ObamaCare, which only needs 50 votes to clear the upper chamber through the budget reconciliation process.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate Democratic leader, said Democrats will use the Senate floor and Facebook Live to denounce the GOP plan and accuse them of causing "chaos" by moving forward without a replacement plan.

A late-night "talkathon," eh?  Didn't we used to call that a filibuster?  Anyway, it won't work.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!

Over ObamaCare?

No, I don't think I'll ever be over ObamaCare.
