We kicked them out of Paris. We can kick them out of the US Capitol.
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
—Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1778
The attacks against our Constitution just keep on coming.
God save us.
How long will the tyranny continue?
They can try this sh*t, but when it is overturned by 51% who are they going to complain to, the Supreme Court? This just proves Dems are dangerously delusional. When a kid crashes your car, the first thing you do it take the keys away from them. 2010 can’t come soon enough.
These bastards will make the British look like saints, and the british were extremely brutal.
Not constitutional!
Congress cannot ammend the constitution, nor can they impose rules on the next congresses. Any change in the enactability, or revokability of acts of congress would require an ammendment to the constitution.
If the Republican ever regain control, they can just pass a rule that says all super majority requirements of previously bills are null and void by a majority vote.
Will they have the courage and will to do it? We need constitutional warriors in congress.
It doesn’t make logical sense. How can you pass something with 60 votes which then takes 67 votes to undo?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
If this is how DemocRATs act (and apparently are going to get away with,thanks to a completely complicit Old Media) when they control all 3 Branches of the Fed Gov’t of the U.S.A., then we are a nation that is much closer to it’s demise than I ever imagined. If the Republicans Controlled all 3 branches of the Gov’t, and attempted to pass a health bill with the BRAZEN “Harry Reid Clauses”, there’d be riots shown on every TV channel, as the leftists would be fully 100% out of their minds.
I know that they are challenging it, but can it even be considered legal?
So a new congress comes in and makes a new rule to say that everything that was done was wrong?
maybe the only way to repeal this will be to allow it to go through, then prove Obama is ineligible - it will not be a law because no presidential signing would have been appropriate.
