The President says the Constitution is defective, and now Senator Harry Reid is preparing the coup de grace.
Once Reid and Obama emerge from their transparent closed-door consultations on how to blend the two competing Senate Health Care bills, Senator Reid has a nifty parlor trick up his sleeve. The normal course of legislative events would be to debate and vote on the bill on the Senate floor, and then send the result to a House-Senate conference committee. The committee would then blend the final House and Senate bills into a product acceptable to both houses. Unfortunately for the citizens of the United States, that normal course of events in this case would allow too much time for discovery and discussion, and it might therefore result in the public learning too much about the future of their health care. Extended public inspection might even result in the bill not passing in the form desired by the President and his allies, or perhaps not passing at all.

Sorry dude, but we’ve been looking at the ass-end of the Constitution oozing off into the distance for many many presidencies.
When is someone going to yell treason and mean it and act on it? They are subverting the constitution and according to this document we have the right to remove them!
And, that is our own damn fault for letting things get to this point. The oozing should have been halted at its very first ooze past the constraints of the Constitution. Had that happened, we would ALL be better off, today.
It’s time to take back the country.

When pubbies swear to “support and defend,” they don't mean it.
Really? How would you have stopped Abraham Lincoln? As you can see, it's easier to armchair quarterback this topic than it is actually to prevent abuse in practice. When you have a nice divisive righteous cause (for instance, the possibility of ending slavery) people stop remembering the actual rules of the Constitution. to wit: leaving the union was perfectly allowable under the Constitution, but Lincoln expanded powers to stop it.
It’s time to take back the country.
Some people think it's time just to let the current system collapse so that the leeches will die off and better people can reconstitute the original system our founders planned:
Here are even more details, and an email I sent to someone at CNS news after the latest article today. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2358422/posts?page=18#18

Well then if the constitution is sh** on by politicians then we know what we can, and will, do about it. Enough said.

People are very much aware of this sneaky Pete maneuver.
All 3 of my congresscritters heard from me last week and their response was identical: a generic form letter discussing health care in general.
I answered back by telling them that any congressmen who answers questions about such an important matter with canned letters can look forward to being CANNED themselves!
Yep.
A REPUBLIC—NOT A DEMOCRACY —

The Constitution is merely an impediment in their view.
They believe that they are much more enlightened and PROGRESSIVE than the slave-owning whities that composed that outmoded document.
Sorry to say, but whenever the House and Senate vote a bill into law then our government has worked as designed. Each House and Senate member will represent their constituency in their vote, and they’ll be considering their next election.
I’d say furthermore that if a bill is passed does not please the Republicans, it’s just a sign of the impotence of the Republicans and the cleverness fo the Democrats.
I hope that the content of the legislation will be made known in advance of the final vote.
To compare the two is just an obamanation!
