Garrett reports:
Most -- 80 percent -- of the Texas Republicans in the U.S. House have signed a discharge petition supporting almost complete repeal of the health care overhaul approved by Congress and President Barack Obama.
If you click here , you can see that as of Thursday, 109 House members had signed a petition by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, to force an up-or-down vote on a measure repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which Obama signed on March 23. There was a reconciliation measure that also was passed, and it would be left standing -- though gutted in many ways, presumably. A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to be binding. So nothing will happen until after the Nov. 2 election, though the GOP's had an internal debate over tactics.
