Saturday, June 27, 2009 Cap & Tax: Nobody Read It ... Because It Doesn't Exist   [Andy McCarthy] Nobody could have read the bill the House passed last night because there is no bill.  There apparently wasn't time to pull together a finished product that accounted for the hundreds of pages of amendments because of Pelosi's headlong rush to slam this lunacy through before anybody had a chance to learn what was actually in it. So there is no "it" that all the pages and pages of words can be found "in."  Democrats have passed a concept — not a bill.  John Hinderaker at Powerline (relying on David Freddoso at the Examiner) has the embarrassing details. 06/27 12:00 PMShare

I think everyone is out of town for their frigging WEEK vacation for the 4th of July holiday.

Someone should be in at least their local office.

[JamesA]

Vote each and every one of them out of office!!!

[shield]

How can a bill pass when there is not one?

[freekitty]

There should be people in their offices.

[freekitty]

Never say never.

It seems like, historically, voting on a vague or non-existant bill is really a transfer of power and responsibility from the legislative branch to the executive branch. The details will be filled in by the regulators in the executive branch. For reference see: TARP bill, and everything passed since January 20...

I’d like to be one of those bloodhounds.

[hoosier hick]

Well, we needed to pass it on Friday so we can write it over the weekend. You’ll find out next week (maybe) what it was that you voted for...

[kalee]

What is it gpoing to take?

[Iscool]

No, they aren’t smarter; they are just more crooked.

I don't think I'd imply that a person who would sign a bill that doesn't even exist might be smart...

[mojitojoe]

Don’t blame only Pelosiand the Dems. It’s nothing short of CRIMINAL that any of them vote on these things that they haven’t read. It’s insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mojitojoe]

I live to see the day that these people are hunted down with bloodhounds.

MALPRACTICE
In law, malpractice is a type of negligence in which the misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance of a professional, under a duty to act, fails to follow generally accepted professional standards, and that breach of duty is the proximate cause of injury to a plaintiff who suffers damages. It is committed by a professional or her/his subordinates or agents on behalf of a client or patient that causes damages to the client or patient. Perhaps the most publicized forms are medical malpractice and legal malpractice by medical practitioners and lawyers respectively, though malpractice suits against accountants (Arthur Andersen) and investment advisors (Merrill Lynch) have featured in the news more recently

[kalee]

gpoing should be going.

I am so angry!

[greyfoxx39]

I think the eight so-called Republicans who voted for this bill should be innundated with emails from their constituents copying this article of McCarthy's for a start.

[freekitty]

LOL.

300 pgs added @ 3am. UNSEEN. UNREAD. w/ placeholder whose language WILL BE FILLED IN LATER. Transparency? Accountability?

[Warriormom]

I’m not sure that they even planned on voting on it when they did. Everything with Obama is sleight-of-hand and the death of Michael Jackson had the country so tied up that it provided them an excellent distraction from this travesty. I think they simply seized upon the timing to pass whatever they could.
