The United States Senate just voted 47-53 to defund President Obama's health care law. Senators voted strictly along party line, including Senator Manchin of West Virginia, who ran against the law last year on the campaign trail.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) was forced to hold a vote on the issue as part of Friday night's deal to fund the federal government through fiscal year 2011, while avoiding the much dreaded government shutdown that was just hours away.
This represents the second time in three months that all Senate Democrats have stood with President Obama's unpopular health care law.
What say you?
I wish I could vote against a Democrat, but both of my Senators are Republicans.
