Yes, a good man does. That is exactly why he did it. He'd tell you.
Please. Rest. You'll thank me for it later.
Well, I’ve tried to oblige your rude requests.
Perhaps you should now do a little work and do the convincing.
What makes delaying this a good idea.
I expect you to continue personally attacking me and not give an answer.
But you’re on record as doing so.
A quote, please.
No. It was an effort to defund.
You may prove otherwise
I have a parable, of sorts..an analogy. But I’m tired of posting it. You don’t seem interested anyway.
Yeah, that presents us with a strong case in point.
Yes. The point being I have a troll problem. Turning it off, now.
Trolling that Boehner is being a wimp?
If that’s trolling, then I am guilty.
Yes! So who is going to challenge it in the judicial branch?
Much as I hate to admit it — as I am not a great fan — San Antonio’s drive-time WAOI host, Joe “Pags,” has brought this up more than once in recent weeks.
One of those times was while interviewing Beltway dinosaur Congressman Lamar Smith, who did not quite seem able to grasp the significance of what Pags was saying at the time.
Can they fund it for a dollar?
Just try and 0 will hollar!
Can they fund it for a quarter?
And the the savings close the border!
Can the fund it with a dime?
Hold the budget to the line!
Can they? Will they give a penny?
They won’t listen to us or any!
Fund it! Yes indeed they’ll fund it!
They will fund until there’s n’any!
They will fund it with our dollars
They will fund it with our quarter
With our dimes and with our pennies!
They will fund and fund and fund
Until we kick them out the bums!

Starve the beast of funds and shut it down...
Great article. Now, give the literal reading of the Constitution, why can’t, or should I say why Won’t a senator raise a constitutional point of order every time Reido tries to do his thing? If I am not mistaken, it would take 60 votes to overturn the point of order.
LOL....very fundy stuff!

As Madison elaborated, the purpose of the Origination Clause is to put the “power of the purse” firmly in the hands of “the immediate representatives of the people.” Government has no resources of its own; it has only what it confiscates from the citizenry. In a free republic, liberty hinges on the ability of citizens to constrain the demands government can make. The Framers prudently concluded that the best means of constraint was to give the definitive word on taxing and spending to the House: The only legislators directly elected by the people at the time the Constitution was adopted (senators were chosen by their state legislatures until 1913); and, to this day, the only representatives who must face the voters every two years.
There you go folks. Send this article to your Sentors for mandatory reading.
Thanks Andy, for staying on top of this.
Thanks neverdem, for posting.

The American people do not want Obamacare, and the representatives closest to them have voted not to spend the people’s money on it. According to the Constitution, that should be the end of the matter.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
SCOTUS may yet rule on the matter.
One Senator each.
6-yr terms with the State Legislator selected Senator removable before end of term with a 66 or 75% vote.
