Talk about Cheating. John Boehner announced today that after the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee passed their version of the Obamacare bill, the the Democrats added 70 substantive amendments to the bill without voting on it, and without telling the minority members.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today expressed outrage after learning that Senate Democratic leaders quietly made more than 70 substantive changes to the text of a health care bill after the legislation was voted on and passed by the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
Algore said it best - “No Controlling Legal Authority”
ALSO THIS:
New Obamacare “trick” requiring urgent action.
A “Yes” Vote On Cloture Crushes Medicare and American Medicine:
But the clear truth is that a vote for cloture is a vote for Obamacare

To me Liberal Democrats are like the fanatic Muslims. Lying and cheating is an acceptable behavior as long as it furthers the goal of (Islam) or the party.
I would have expected them to start issuing decrees by now.
Gross abuse of power.
If they doing this between committee and floor vote whose to say that eventually they won’t do it after vote? Might find in a year that what the Pres_ent signs as law isn’t what was passed as a bill.
How many Congresscritters does each house need for a quorum?
If they can, the ‘Pubbies need to just walk out.
Bingo!!
when they add amendments without voting... it’s called a decree
who has standing to see the Constitution is enforced?
That’s the Democrat way.
Hey Dems,
Keep your laws off my BODY!
Yes John, by all means, introduce an amendment. That’s the ticket. That will make all the LIBs quake in their boots and convert to PUBs./s
Can anybody tell me what passes for brains in Versailles on the Potomac? Is this a home for the criminally insane? I am really fed up with the whole lot of them. They all deserve a padded cell in San Quentin.
Beck should spend an hour on this on Friday!!!
“No Controlling Legal Authority”
No controlling moral authority either.
Now you’re gettin it!
True
I’m stunned, stunned I tell you. ;’)
