This thing sounds so illegal from every viewpoint. My hope is that this gets tied up in the courts from the day it passes to the day sanity is restored to our government.
Harry has proved that any Congress can write any d@mn law it wants to, I wouldn’t worry about this one
Given how they have circumvented the Constitution, they can’t make it “against the law” to circumvent the Constitution again in the future!
Harry, you can’t ignore and end-run the Constitution and then expect others to respect the rule of law based on it...
D’OH!
Bump for later.....
It may be in there, but how the hell could it stand? Even the Constitution can be amended, so no law passed by tin-pot Harry and crew is sacrosanct.
Futher, it goes on to say that the World is now Made Out of Dark Chocolate and Everyone Can Fly Around and Bells and Kittens are what Clouds are Now Made Of.
Write what you want, Messr. Reid. Doesn't make it true.
Congress cannot bind a future Congress except by constitutional amendment. All a future Congress has to do is pass legislation deleting that language. Viola! Problem solved.
How can you possibly write a law like that? I mean, he can write anything he wants, but I can’t seriously believe that a law forbidding its own amendment or revocation could possibly have any effect.
Let them try that one.
Seems to me that Congress has repealed a few legislative edicts that were ill-advised in the past (Prohibition, for example); this socialist garbage is no different.
Back on 1 April 2009, and not as an April Fool’s joke, the Senate of the Great State of Georgia passed Senate Resolution 632 affirming States Rights. Below is a letter sent today, 22 December 2009, to Governor Perdue. And I spelled his name incorrectly . . . for effect . . . that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
Dear Governor Purdue:
The United States Congress, having over stepped its Constitutional Mandates, has begun the final steps to ratify a Health Care Reform Bill. This bill is unconstitutional in many ways: 1- all 50 States are not treated equally; 2- it forces people to purchase a particular product and fines them if they do not; 3- Health Care is not a right guaranteed by the US Constitution under the “general welfare” clause or it would have been initiated as soon as the several States signed the US Constitution.
Please actively publicize SR 632 - Jeffersonian Principles; affirming state’s rights passed by the Georgia Senate on 1 April 2009. Please announce to the United States Congress and to other States who have similar Nullification Legislation that the State of Georgia will not comply with an patently unconstitutional “Health Care Reform Bill.”
I hesitate to believe something so juvenile. It’s patently ridiculous. These are petty tyrants, and will not last long.
To think that they can decree what the people may change in the future is hubris; pure folly. Utter disregard for the constitution will lead to failure.
Or maybe even a fairly conservative president before that.
Ya’all just think this is about medical care going wild on gooberment money.
It is really about guaranteeing lawyers business into the distant future, or the next two elections.
One Congress is not bound by the actions of a previous Congress.
What's the problem? Defund the board, make it necessary to gain Congressional approval for members of the board, and assign a negative salary to its members. If the board has zero budget, no members, and anyone foolish enough to volunteer has to pay $100,000 per year for the privilege, its existence won't matter.
This is tyranny of the majority.. A system of repeal MUST always exist within a democracy..
D-
If it turns out that BO is not a natural born citizen then it will be null and void!
If enough people have the will, anything can be repealed. Anything.
The Reid Bill needs to be torched!
