If it goes from the House to the White House, no reconciliation via the Senate is necessary, right?

I don’t think Byrd can stop anything now. At this point he could play the title character in the Monty Python Dead Parrot Sketch. If they hadn’t nailed him to his Senate seat he’d be pushing up daisies.

That’s right. If the House passes the Senate bill with no changes, there is no reconciliation. After signature, the Senate bill will become the law-of-the-land.

House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday.

Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.

You know, we laugh at Byrd and poke fun at him, and I have not agreed with him on many things, BUT I have always respected his respect of the Constitution.

We are entering the slippery slope phase now.....Oligarchy the rule of the few, and those few are generally the people who are wealthier or more powerful than the others. Sometimes they may be elected, and sometimes they are born into their position. The most likely mechanism for transformation into an Oligarchy is a gradual accumulation of unchecked economic power. They know exactly what they are doing. They will never get this close again, they have awakened a sleeping giant... WE the PEOPLE. If we don’t stop them now, soon there will be anarchy.

Peelosi reportedly said ‘’ we need to pass this so we can find out what’s in it.’’ Calling George Orwell,,,the animals are off the farm again and the pigs are struting round on their hind 2 feet.

The House must accept and pass the Senate version without change for that to happen.

And some trickery is in play to coerce stray Dems to sign onto the existing Senate bill with the ‘promise’ the contentious issues will magically go away, right?

Quote of the day as far as I'm concerned.

The first thing I thought when I heard that quote is that Pelosi is truly, truly out of her mind.

Most Rats aren’t buying because they know that there isn’t anything more worthless than a Rat politician’s promise. After all, it takes a Rat to know one.

"...BUT I have always respected his respect of the Constitution."

Except for Amendments 13-15.

I never said I was Byrd’s #1 fan, but compared to the rest of the rat bastards he’s not even on my top 25 biggest bastards list.
