“Deemed” My A**. I hope we send the Dem’s into oblivion for the next several decades.
The more disreputable pedigree this deeming pile of crap has the better.
Kick most of the Democrats out the next two elections and repeal the bill with a super majority and a probable Republican President as well.

Carnage in the streets is coming!

A vote for the rule is a vote for Obamacare period — pass it on
Let’s ‘deem’ the Deemocrats voted out of office!!
Euphemistically speaking, I feel like we’re at that point of having the gun put to our back in the parking lot. The next thing will be the hood over our head. Then we’ll be told to get in the trunk. Once in the trunk, it will be too late.
Dems voting for changes to a bill deemed to have passed without a vote should be deemed unfit to enter the chambers of congress. They will be deemed unfit to represent after this charade of parlimantary flimflam that flys in the face of the Constitution and congressional tradition.
I’m not a constitutional scholar, but from my reading, the Constitution does not define what is needed for a bill to pass the House or Senate. It says that the House and Senate can mandate their own rules. It does say that there is needed a 2/3 majority to override a veto.
I agree that this is an ultra-sleazy move, but it may not be obviously unconstitutional. If the Dems try this, every last one of them need to be called out for it on election day.
When I heard the allegation that pubs had used this in the past, I was screaming at the tv: “Who, when, for what - I want links!”
All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills. Every bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a law, be presented to the President of the United States; if he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a law. 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. If any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law.
I think if they go that far there will be riots coast to coast then zero will want to impose martial law, something that I believe he wants. Then he could use his private army that he has talked about while he trained and funded ACORN. I believe this whole whole administration is trying to destroy America from within. I would love to see the lot doing the perk walk, kicking and screaming on their way to prison.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Here's the thing: If passed, Obamacare doesn't go into effect immediately. Major elements will be not be implemented for several years. That's more than enough time to challenge the constitutionality of the self-executing rule if it's used to pass the bill. It's also more than enough time to challenge the constitutionality of the individual mandate.
It's going to take another 2 or 3 years to finally kill this bill, and the death blow probably will come from the Supreme Court.
Good reading and I agree 1000 %
I kind of hope they use this “Slaughter Rule”, since it seems it would be a lot easier to get the courts to throw the bill out that way. Certainly much easier than getting the Republicans to repeal it when they get a majority back.
Used before by Republicans? I myself have heard this stated several times by the leftist media YET I wonder why a supposed precedented procedural tactic would be recently renamed the "Slaughter Solution" -I am not drinking the koolaid I guess? Maybe next, just for the fun of it, "they" will rename reconcilliation to the "Pelosi Solution"? I guess voting is now deeming AND when OZero signs the demmed deemed abomination he will in essence be redeeming...
