pass ObamaCare out of the Senate

Let's be accurate...this would just pass it out of the Finance COMMITTEE, not out of the Senate. Presumably (?) they would have to mark up actual, legislative language before the whole Senate will vote on it. (Not that they will read it before voting.)

Where is it supposed to go when it leaves the Finance Committee. The Senate has to vote on legalese, not on “conceptual language.”

EXACTLY — and therein lies the problem!

As we've already seen with the Stimulus Bills and Cap & Trade, Senators DO NOT read the Bills they passespecially the 1000-plus page BillsWE DO. And that's what scares them.

Senator Kerry — who served in Vietnam — said today that they don't want to post the Bill and its revisions online because it is too complex and uses too much legalese. WTF?

It's OBVIOUS — they want the American people to have as LITTLE TIME AS POSSIBLE to review the Bill out of the Senate before they pass it. Gosh — I wonder why...

I expect no different from the House when they get the Bill back from the Senate for review — Pelosi will push to use the Dem majority in the Committees to change internal procedural rules, too, to minimize review time of the 1000-page ObamaCare Bill by the American people.

That's why we have to put our big foot down and say, "NO, you don't!"
