It sounds like there has to be a conference bill first.
As I see it, anything other than an up or down vote by the U.S. House will end up in the SCOTUS. In fact, this entire fiasco will probably end up there anyway.
“...nab a few Congressman...”
I wouldn’t put that past her either.
After all this there is no bill. NO senate bill? WTF
They are not going to pass this bill - why? because
1) It delivers nothing
2) if they pass it, they have no issue
3) If they pass it, they will be slaughtered in Nov
They are looking for a way to climb out this mess. They will talk til the cows come home only to say they could nt pass it because tehy did not have the votes.
Lincoln also did it to keep the Maryland legislature from voting to secede.
There is a precedent, they have voted before without anyone having read the bill. Is there a difference?
YES.
Carpet bagger's once tried to "run" Texas, it was a very short "lived" attempt. This could be interesting.
Not only that, but the Illegal's chickens are likely to come home to roost. Remember how he called out the SCOTUS for the Citizens United decision, that was written by Justice Kennedy, the swing justice. If this abomination passes, the Illegal may well come to rue the day he called out Kennedy at the SOTU.
And that is all about barn doors and at-large horses.If Health Care passes then November does not matter much to anyone other than the congressmen losing and gaining seats. We will then have to rely on SCOTUS and that will take years and the Court will likely have changed leftward by then and if it maintains its present philosophical divide it will “strike down” one or two narrow slices of HC that wont affect the socialization of the economy much at all.From then on our politics will hinge on what party can get the most votes by “improving” access for particular groups or reducing corruption or some such. There will be fewer and fewer things that people can decide for themselves and overall health care will decline in quality and quantity for everyone outside of the higher levels of the Nomenklatura and will disappear for folks beyond a cutoff age that will decline as the average lifespan declines. The system will be Bureaucracy with the Legislature and Courts a mere sideshow and the Executive being the ultimate layer of the Bureaucracy.
I was talking about our side doing the dirty deed.
Oh. ;0)
I don’t think we do that.
I know, there must be a shortage of pitchforks in DC and they’d like us All to bring them some, b/c that sure does seem like what they are asking for....
