Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care. The people are not bound by any unconstitutional act of Congress. It is time for civil disobedience. Pass it on.
Where’s the link?
Why isn’t this marked Vanity?
Where are the Mods?
No offense, but are you sure? I thought once there are 60 votes to end debate that all the following votes (the Senate bill and then the Conference Committee’s final bill) only required simple majorities?
Reid would use the nuke option if it came down to it.
Getting tired of the vanities, so I’ve alerted a mod.

bttt
Unless the House just decides to pass the Senate version directly.
What’s with the 1AM voting scheme?
Congress/Senate never did it before?
Normally they are less than eager to even show up for “work” on weekdays.
Some scheme to get the “vampire” vote? Those who simply can’t be active when the sun is up?
Scott Brown (R) running for Teddy the Swimmers Seat, election day is 01/19/2010.
IMHO they need to get this done before that date if this guy wins, or they are toast. His posing in Cosmo in 82' ain't gonna help, but maybe in MA that is a resume enhancer. Look, he is not perfect, but what if the Senate's Internals are so bad even a Republican has a shot in Massachuetts?
Any thoughts? Especially from MA Freepers...
I'll send a firm email to Klobuchar and Franken!
Yeah, that'll make a difference.
This includes another cloture vote. So the changes that may be made to the bill via the House-Senate conference are very important. Neither Reid or Pelosi can allow those changes to upset significant numbers of their party. In Reid's case he has essentially no room for error unless he has some magic, possibly black, that might entice Collins or Snowe back on his team. That could happen but seems unlikely.
So I predict, or least expect, a big push by the Big O and the Big Pee to have the House accept the Senate version. That would whisk it right off to Mr. Chicago for his signature.
But...
Tain't ova til is's ova.
The Senate needs 60 votes? Ha! Not with the communist Democrats in charge! The rules don’t exist when the communists are in charge.
I have this sinking feeling that Pelosi, despite howls from the moonbats, will accept the Senate bill as is. IOW, the "conference committee" will simply change the House bill to match the Senate bill exactly.
Do I understand this right? If that happens doesn't it mean that the Senate doesn't have to do anything further at all? The "new" version gets voted on by the House, and then straight to 0's desk?
If liberals fought FOR the US as much as they fight against it, nothing could stop us.
Question:
They are using Article 1 Sect 8 “Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States...” as the premise for constitutionality of the health care bill.
How is rationing of health care contributing to the “general welfare” of the United States?
Doesn’t rationing contribute to the general decline of the citizens of the United States?
Praying for one of those Tower of Babel moments...
Thank you!
