Absolutely true about the veto, that’s right.  But then the steel and the intestinal fortitude will simply HAVE to come, or we will know all we need to know about the GOP.
 
I don’t pray for peace – unless by peace you’re only referring to a lack of physical violence.  Then, yes, I’m with you.  But confrontation is sorely needed.  I’m sick and tired of our refusal to stand up for what we believe, and get in their faces.  It’s necessary.   If we don’t actively rebel against what’s been going on for almost a hundred years, then nothing will change.   There must be conflict; we have to engage.

As others have said, more elegantly than I can, once the bill is signed it becomes law. It will take a new law to supersede it. With the big O as president, he will simply veto the new bill. The R’s will not have enough votes to over ride the veto. By the time 2012 rolls around the bill will have had years to wreak havoc. I doubt then that the R’s will have the intestinal fortitude to stop anything.
One can only pray for a peaceful outcome.

Mike, I think the idea is that the GOP won’t have the steel needed to reverse.  The best we may be able to hope for is defunding until various things get challenged as unconstitutional.  Assuming O doesn’t manage to pack the court before that occurs.
The Tea Party might be able to inject some steel into their spines, but whether they can or not is open to question.

We can roll it back.  We can repeal it.   YES WE CAN!  YES WE CAN!
 
Of course we can.
Be not afraid.  If Scott Brown can win in Massachusetts by promising to be the 41st vote against this, we can certainly win in 2010 by openly and honestly promising that we will repeal!
