Thus, Slaughter is preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill “passed” once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes. Democrats would thereby avoid a direct vote on the health care bill while allowing it to become law!

Even Dem voters (and even some "journalists") must realize that if this happens...

This confiscation of power (if allowed) would never stop at just health care.

This is Marbury vs Madison meets the Communist Manifesto for the Congress.

We mere voters would be forever dis-enfranchised.

I must have made 10 posts tonight which expresses the same sentiments you have expressed. War has been declared on the citizens of this country and it is not the Islamic terrorists who are doing the damage. You know who it is as well as I. It seems that everyone on FR is ignoring what I have been saying about this subject. Obama is just part of the problem. It is congress. It is the federal agencies. It is the unions. It is the federal judges. The list goes on forever.

But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively…

This clause refers to a bill being repassed over the presidential veto, not to all laws, many of which are routinely passed on a voice vote.

The Constitution does not provide that any piece of legislation can be validly passed because the House or the Senate "deems" it to have been passed. The Supreme Court has the power to overturn any such false result of legislation being passed. See the second link below.

Well I agree and doubt impeachment has a snowball’s chance in hell. No other options unless there is indisputable evidence that Obama is ineligible to be POTUS. That has no chance in hell either. Not going to go any further for fear of trouble.

Not true. See my article, below, on the Powell v. McCormack case.

My congressman won’t even engage me. So I wrote to Jason Altmire, presumably a Dem on the fence. Well, his email system is set up so that if you’re not from his district, your email will be discarded.

Fine with me. When these fellas run for re-election, I will remember, and I will make sure the voters remember too.

That is not my reading of that sentence. It says in ALL such cases, not in THIS case.

What Civil War? Unless people like you and I actually get up off our behinds, grab a gun, and organize into combat units to fight the federal government... there is no civil war.

Yeah, I've been reading these veiled and no-so-veiled threats from Freepers about a Civil War over health care for months now. When it passes, other than a few skirmishes that will be quickly squashed by the govt, it will all over but the paying of the taxes.

And still no one seems able to build a good working guillotine.

Who's "no one", white man?...

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

And what do you think the US armed services would do? Would they fire on American citizens protecting the Constitution?
I just have pictures in my mind of Patriots being blown up by Apaches for standing up to the constitution. Maybe I am paranoid.

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) was established in 1991 by five members of the United States House of Representatives: Representatives Ron Dellums (D-CA), Lane Evans (D-IL), Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Then-Representative Bernie Sanders was the convener and first. The founding members were concerned about the economic hardship imposed by the deepening recession, the growing inequality brought about by the timidity of the Democratic Party response at the time.

Additional House representatives joined soon, including Major Owens (D-NY), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), David Bonior (D-MI), Bob Filner (D-CA), Barney Frank (D-MA), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Patsy Mink (D-HI), George Miller (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), John Olver (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
