The Slaughter Solution: The Metamorphosis of The American Republic Into Government By Fiat

fiat [ˈfaɪət -æt], n., a legally binding command or decision; an arbitrary order or decree

A very dangerous act is being attempted by the Left to secure their rule over the American people and transform the legislative process from a Constitutional Republic to a government by fiat. Today on Fox News Sunday, Democratic leader Rep. Chris Van Hollen admitted Democrats intend to use the unconstitutional “Slaughter Rule” as a solution to ram nationalized health care through Congress without majority vote and in defiance to the will of the American people.

The Slaughter rule would declare that the House of Representatives “deems” the Senate health care bill “passed” by the House. House members would have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but would then be able to claim they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself. In other words, Democrats will avoid a direct vote on the health care bill while allowing it to become law! They will take over one-sixth of the US economy without voting on it in direct violation to the legislative process defined by the U.S Constitution. Article I, Section VII, Clause II specifically states,

"Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States;... But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively."

“Levin agrees this is a very dangerous territory for Dems to tread. It will be rule by fiat.”

It is dangerous for them because in that case it will require the military to do something about them and it will not be nice.

This is the process Obama supported in Honduras when Zelaya tried it.

There are several ways for us to do this, but they will require getting our people into position before hand.

This sounds a bit too conspiratorial for my tastes.

Let's hope and pray that cooler and wiser heads prevail at the federal level and this monstrosity of a federal government rolls back toward it's legitimate role as dictated by the constitution before the democrats destroy the nation.

[DarthVader]

It also failed.

[cake_crumb]

Well...it’s certainly against the SPIRIT the Founders had in mind when they WROTE the Cinstitution, incorperation or no incorperation. The SCOTUS has recourse to the Federalist papers.

[cake_crumb]

You’ve ruined my supper!

[xtinct]

Where's the military? Aren't they suppose to protect the U.S. from ALL enimies foreign and domestic?

In my opinion, Democrats appear to be acting like domestic terrorists.

And, I'm looking forward to elected incumbants going down in flames in the Fall elections.

Any incumbant who votes Yes on the Health Care Reform bill, should put his/her political head between their legs and kiss their @ss goodbye...

That's the word on the Web...

[cake_crumb]

It didn’t work very well.

Go to www.marklevinshow.com and listen to the podcasts for Thursday, 3-11 AND 3-12 containing info on this very subject. Levin IS a constitutional lawyer, and is very explicit. VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU LISTEN TO THE 3-11 AND 3-12 podcasts, and Mark's program each and every night. Pass this program info on to others....

Listen and decide how you will respond to this attack on
WE The People.

Hilarious....Dems have the super majority and yet, fail to pass their own legislation, therefore, have to stoop to the ‘government by fiat’ level....they should be embarrassed. Idiots going to end making tar and feathering back en vogue. Woot.

So if this Unconstitutional plan doesn't work, would the Liberal Messiah simply declare Martial Law and enact ObamaCare by executive order? [/sarc]

Why not???? The media has ignored his gross malfeasance thus far, and will no doubt continue to do so.

[SatinDoll]

There isn’t much difference at all between McCain and Obama. Don’t kid yourself - we would have ended up in this mess whichever one had been elected.

The mere discussion of the Slaughter Solution in Congress is enough for outrage. That the Rats would be seriously considering this should let the US know that the Rats are seeking ways to subvert the rule of law and begin a revolution.

I went to DU and there is a not so surprising lack of concern about this blatantly unconstitutional power grab. They are more upset that Bohner called it the “Slaughter Solution” than subversion of the Constitution.

[Hot Tabasco]

So when and where does the revolution start? I want in on the action before my arthritis gets the best of me.......

I thought he was nuts...now I see he was just better at predicting how evil the democrats can be.

Perhaps he was not "predicting", he could have been revealing the end game of a cold war KGB stratagem. Russians are very patient and world class chess players, remember also Putin is a KGB alumni...

We have had hard core, doctrinaire, committed communists living among us since the 1930's. This is the end result of putting up with political dry rot for some eighty years. If WE don't do something to push back now, there will not be another opportunity to do so...

They’ve gotten seats in congress, as democrats. I don’t need them.

Dims: When it comes to health care, we will slaughter you.
