#1 already treading on thin ice with his constituents will be in deep doo-doo in 2012.
This vote is a chip in the poker game for the next presidential election. More importantly, any party that gets stuck with the blame for persisting high levels of unemployment will not do well in 2012. I think most of those unemployed at this moment will still be unemployed come Election Day 2012.

#2 ...and the ever growing inflation rate fueled by the Fed-Tres axis of printing money eating away at Americans income. Saving the banks (the few, the insiders) to cover their mortgage losses by inflating the costs of everything else for the rest (the many, the outsiders) is certainly not going to help either.

#5 Actually, just 7 more States would make the magic 2/3rds, or 34 States, that could call a constitutional convention. And though they aren't going to do this, it signals to both the congress and the Supreme Court that the law is intolerable.

Speaking of which, the Republicans plan to introduce a new constitutional amendment in congress that would permit simple resolutions by 2/3rds of the States to overturn any law. And while this, too, would fail in the Senate, after the 2012 elections, it could very well pass.

And likely 3/4ths of the States would agree.

#6 ...just to relieve themselves of federal mandates from their budget pressures, you'll get that 3/4.
