He didn't realize that the Slaughter rule has never ever been used like this in it's history. Or maybe he does but he wants to cause false doubt. We are seeing what the Democratic party is made of.

Why are the Hypocrats afraid of obeying the Constitution of These United States and giving an Up or Down vote?:<br /><br />Democrats: We're so proud of our awesome takeover of health care that we won't go on record as actually having voted for it!<br /><br />http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2010/03/democrats-were-so-proud-of-our-awesome.html<br /><br />House Majority Leader Stenky Hoyer and Speaker Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi hit the press circuit earlier today to defend the so-called Slaughter Solution, an unprecedented method for enacting government-run health care. This last-gasp Democrat attempt to squeeze out a health care bill would "deem" the Senate health care bill as passed without a direct vote.<br /><br />Legal experts believe such a maneuver contravenes Article I, Section 7 of the U.S Constitution.<br /><br />It also compounds a callous disregard for the truth and American traditions:<br /><br />Democrats have already hidden 60 percent of the cost of the Senate bill, effected an obscenely partisan change in Massachusetts law to keep the bill moving, pledged more than a billion taxpayer dollars to buy votes for the bill, and packed the bill with an unconstitutional individual mandate and provisions that violate the First Amendment. It’s almost as if, to paraphrase comedian Lewis Black, Democrats spent a whole year, umm, desecrating the Constitution and at the last minute went, “Oh! Missed a spot!”<br /><br />In other words, this health care overhaul is so crazy good the leadership can't even convince Democrats to openly vote on it.<br /><br />Hoyer's attempted to deflect criticism by citing cases where Republicans used a "self-executing" rule.<br /><br />Oh, the Republicans used it, right? Well, Stenky, could we please have the list of bills and laws passed using this method? There aren't any. It's been used to add and remove amendments, not pass entire bills without a vote. And certainly not for a giant, new and unaffordable entitlement program. And certainly not one that has no bipartisan support whatsoever.<br /><br />Some have argued that the "Gephardt Rule" (House Rule XXVII) -in which a similar "self-executing rule" "deemed" the house to have voted on a new debt ceiling, is valid precedent. Wrong. That rule was for a joint resolution--not a bill. A joint resolution is a guide to the house. It is not a bill under the constitution, and has no force of law. Because a president has nothing to do with a resolution, a self-executing rule is valid for a resolution, but not for a bill.<br /><br />As Michael McConnell -- director of the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School -- explained yesterday, the Slaughter Solution is clearly unconsitutional.<br /><br />So, yes, let's create the largest entitlement program in history, but not require any House Democrat to actually vote on it.<br /><br />Let's require everyone in the country to purchase a product (health insurance), but exempt Congress, without having an actual vote on the matter.<br /><br />Maybe they'll pass a rule that says midterm elections aren't necessary either. After all, that's clearly in the Constitution as well -- along with how bills become laws.<br /><br />I guess this is the "fundamental change" we were promised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-34288770385769352072010-03-17T11:26:10.281-04:002010-03-17T11:26:10.281-04:00Chris, so were the Republicans "cowards"...Chris, so were the Republicans "cowards" when they used the same procedure 22 times?bfealkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799645637950171234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-39265718437539941192010-03-17T11:16:43.003-04:002010-03-17T11:16:43.003-04:00Vomamike - What video are you talking about, the &...Vomamike - What video are you talking about, the "We are a Republic, Not a Democracy" video?

I found the information presented by the author consistant with my knowledge and understanding of historical events - politically speaking. And you may be surprised, but by and large i concur - except we have a slight differance of opinion when he gave his conclusion. I can see where he - and you by extrapulation, was headed. None the less, it was a good history lesson, accurate as far as i could tell - just slightly but significantly differant drawn conclusions. But then historians seldom differ on the facts - only the lesson those facts present.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-47074307999259357552010-03-17T09:10:37.815-04:002010-03-17T09:10:37.815-04:00Chris, we get our talking points from the KLAN?

Abortion is an agenda to the Left, it’s not about life or some perceived ‘choice’. I said that it just exposes the face underneath the mask a bit more; Now, it isn’t just about funding abortion, but using it as a cost-saving tool. James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal agrees:<br /><br />In order to be effective, a policy of using abortion as a cost-cutting measure would have to aim at preventing the birth of babies with such pre-existing conditions. The goal would be not a reduction in the number of babies, but an “improvement” in the “quality” (narrowly defined in economic terms) of the babies who are born. This is known as eugenics.<br /><br />Eugenics, indeed. See, not only can individual women be “punished by a baby,” but so can the entire World, evidently. This is one of the left’s dirty little secrets; factions of the left have been encouraging eugenics for years. The “green” movement, for instance, has population control at its core. An example from Diane Francis, of the Financial Post, who in her article entitled The Real Inconvenient Truth: The Whole World Needs to Adopt China’s One Child Policy, echoes the true beliefs of many global warming embracers. You know, like the majority of the Democrats in Congress and our President.Flippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-55380112576383599932010-03-16T21:27:12.818-04:002010-03-16T21:27:12.818-04:00Question One Option to Passing this BILL as I Un...Question One Option to Passing this BILL as I Understand It is To Take The Senate Vote in December and For The House to Pass a Rule and WITHOUT a Vote Enact Nobama Care into Legislation!
