The following excerpt is from the blog of Republican Representative John Boehner of Ohio:
Democrats Prepare "Slaughter Solution" to Ram Unpopular Health Care Takeover Through Congress Without a Vote
The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama's massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution.
The Slaughter Solution is a plan by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Democratic chair of the powerful House Rules Committee and a key ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), to get the health care legislation through the House without an actual vote on the Senate-passed health care bill. You see, Democratic leaders currently lack the votes needed to pass the Senate health care bill through the House. Under Slaughter's scheme, Democratic leaders will overcome this problem by simply "deeming" the Senate bill passed in the House - without an actual vote by members of the House.

“Slaughter” is what would happen to the Democrats in the polls if they even tried this.
Deeming? Does that mean the same thing as Lying?
If the democrats do this then I fail to see why anyone should consider the US government as legitimate any longer...they will have discarded the constitution, and without that the nation is null and void.
Is it even Constitutional? It will be an extremely dangerous precedent.
Didn’t the military take an oath to defend the Constitution?
More like the Chavez solution!
It is a Chavez like act.
Is it even Constitutional? It will be an extremely dangerous precedent.

The Parlimentarian has already said NO. It is NOT LEGAL. But when does that stop the radical Dims? Biden can (sadly) override the Parlimentarian. If they do this, November will be a political disaster for the Dims. But the radicals do not care....which just goes to prove this so-called bill is NOT ABOUT HEALTH CARE. It is strictly about POWER AND CONTROL. And a vehicle to install hard socialism as the prevailing form of government in America.
Slaughter plan= the government of the people by the people and for the people has perished from this earth.
Civil War couldnt do it but Democrat politicians can.
Last year I got banned from posting for a while for bringing up Zero’s stolen social security numbers. Seems that was just a totally absurd thing to even think about.
Now myself and several other freepers have broached the subject of the military getting a nosefull of Zero and tossing him out on his big ears.
Seems now nothing is beyond the realm of possibility in regards to Zero and what he will do or what measures may be taken to get him out of the White House.
He is a one man national emergency.. He represents a clear and present danger to our republic. Just beyond me that the voices of patriots are not louder.
No wonder the lefties like Hugo Chavez so much.
This is how he became dictator of Venezuela.
“The Parlimentarian has already said NO.”
The ruling of the Parlimentarian had to do with the reconciliation process in the senate, not with the Slaughter option.
“That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
I heard on the news (WTOP) yesterday Pelosi saying that after she gave up on the group of pro-life Democrats, she was looking at procedural issues to get the health care through the House. I told my wife they’re going to ram this through the House without votes all the while people are wondering if she has the votes.

Yes, it is easy to get all the unlawful and corrupt activity of this Congress mixed...!!!
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
This has nothing to do with Republicans or Democrats. They ALL HAVE TO GO. I won’t vote for any incumbents.
If they do this, there will be no “this November’s elections” to overturn it. They would not dare allow the people any chance at undoing it.
If the Republicans do not go for an injunction to stop this process, because it is in violation of the Constitution, the entire populace will begin to think that all politics is crooked. We already know that the move that they are talking about trying is not constitutional. The constitution says both houses must vote on a bill before it is sent to the President. The President, if he signs a bill that has not been voted on by the House of Representatives, will be guilty of a high crime against the Constitution, (grounds for impeachment). If they do this, and nobody fights to stop it, the government that men fought and gave their lives for will be forfeited to people like these.
