Clyburn dares repubs to try to repeal the health care law...

Also on the program, House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., defended the sweeping health care legislation, likening the reform with other major initiatives, like the civil rights laws of the 1960s. "The fact of the matter is what we did with health care is to make that a fundamental right of every citizen."

Clyburn suggested that McConnell and the House Republicans who say they will repeal the bill as soon as they take over the Majority leadership in January reminded him of the South's efforts to repeal landmark civil rights legislation.

"I think that those people who are saying those things are really flying in the face of history," Clyburn said. "The Democrats lost place in the South because of the Voting Rights Act of 1965," Clyburn recalled. "I remember Strom Thurmond going back to Washington after 1968, saying, 'We are going to repeal the Voting Rights Act.'"

And, Clyburn so much as dared the Republicans to try.

"I would like to see which one of those Republicans would propose that we take away a person's family's right to have their child born with diabetes come off their insurance policies," Clyburn said.
