A picture is worth a thousand words!
Thought this was interesting from Michele Bachmann on Larry King:
“A big question that has to be addressed right now, Larry, is what in the world is going on in the White House?
Because today, the president offered a judgeship to the brother of a member of Congress. Tonight, the president has that same member of Congress at the White House pressuring him to change his vote on health care. We really need to have an independent investigation into this matter. Because we’ve seen the Cornhusker Kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, the union loophole and now the big question is, is the White House trading health care votes for judgeships? This is a pretty serious issue, Larry.”
Rush explained it well on his Wed. show:
“RUSH: This whole reconciliation route, it’s a confusing term because the actual term is “BUDGET (emphasis mine) reconciliation,” and it is an exception to the 60-vote requirement in the Senate, which is a Senate rule, a long-standing Senate rule, and it is used only for items that have BUDGETARY (emphasis mine) consequences because the CONSTITUTION REQUIRES THAT (emphasis mine). So they made an exception to the 60-vote rule.”
