In a joint statement released to the Associated Press, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell were quoted as saying, Weve heard the American people loud and clear, and theyve said they arent tired of the inefficiencies of Congress. They support our hapless votes for bills that will never pass and its completely untrue that theyre dissatisfied with our job performance. How can the American people be unhappy with the job weve done, when we havent done anything? So in that tradition, and the only tradition Congressional Republicans have had since 2009, we plan to propose a Constitutional Amendment, which stands no chance at passing, that requires weekly votes to repeal the Constitutionally-upheld unconstitutional Obamacare!
McConnell took it one step further, saying he promises no Republican Senator will filibuster this Amendment, because hes only allowed to filibuster his own legislation once per year.
