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."

“If the Rats in congress try this then it will be open civil war in the USA, and I will personally march on Washington DC and drag them out of their offices.”
PM me, dude, I’ll go with ya’.
The only thing I have to say about this if they succeed: They have to leave the bubble of Washington D.C. at some point.
To nationalize 1/6 of the economy under such shady circumstances is a coup. And we need to think about our response, both individually and collectively.
“Dont kid yourself - we would have ended up in this mess whichever one had been elected.”
As much as I destest McCain and plan to vote against him in the fall, I don’t agree. There would have been some sad similarities but it still wouldn’t be the same.
The military oath I took required me to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic and not to the president. Hitler on the other hand required his militry to swear an oath to support him and not Germany. I personally feel that obama is an unlawful president therefore any orders issued by him are unlawful.
You go through the gate. If the gates closed, you go over the fence. If the fence is too high, well pole vault in. If that doesnt work, well parachute in. But were going to get health care reform passed for the American people.

The Republic will survive because two or three million well armed American Patriots will march on Washington D.C. and destroy the Democrat Party and crush AMSOC (American Socialism) like a cockroach.
So go ahead Democommies, MAKE OUR DAY! We are the real radicals and revolutionists - You are reactionary tribalist SCUM!
Isn’t C/P strategy where the “poor” are so numerous they overwhelm the “capitalists”
“Thanks for that cogent explanation.........I’m really
beginning to believe that CWII is coming sooner
than any of us could have imagined. I for one will NOT
comply with this unconstitutional cram down.”
As I’ve said since 2005, The Second Civil War is almost inevitable and has been in the cards since the late 1960s with the rise of the New Left.
Interesting that the same political parties are on opposite sides of the firing line are the Democrat and Republican.
Also, you could say the issue is the same: socialism (slavery) vs. liberty.
Have you ever heard of The Reform Institute? It is McCain’s think tank, and he has lots of liberal Democrat friends supporting it.
I noticed that the website The Reform Institute has been scrubbed. The donor’s list was a ‘who’s who’ of progressive activist organizations, some of which are funded by Soros. It was up before the election and was eye-popping, showing exactly what kind of progressive globalist McCain actually is politically.
Still think McCain is a loyal American? I don’t, not for a minute. He has promoted too much un-Constitutional legislation for me to think well of him.
While I detest McCain and protested his fitness for the presidency (on completely different grounds), I can't bring myself to believe he would have sat quietly, hands steepled and smiling evilly to himself while this travesty of all this nation was founded on was perpetrated...which no doubt Obama IS doing.
If this abortion of a bill passes, and the smart money says it will next week, it will amount to a declaration of civil war on the People of the United States by the President and the Democrat Congress.
The response?
Peaceful at first, as most of those in opposition think the mid term elections will result in a Republican majority in Congress, which may very well happen.
However, the opposition will have an almost impossible task of repeal, as Obama will veto any Republican legislation and a two-thirds over ride won’t be possible.
In the mean time, Obama will “rule by decree” as the unemployment rises and America falls deeper into Depression.
At some point mass violence will break out....
Now we see why DHS considers freedom lovers to be a threat.
I have many friends both active and inactive officer level and they say the same thing and it looks like Obozo will have lots of trouble from numerous places.
Too bad isn’t it?
Tell me this then - why is he most vociferous attacking fellow Republicans rather than attacking Democrats? There is a serious situation building on the Mexican border, but rather than talk about that he is attacking his own party’s members.
The issues, such as amnesty and the deficit, should be important and at the locus of his statements. He’s running for another term as Senator, but not talking on issues. Instead, he is going after JD Hayworth is a most un-Republican manner.
He should be attacking progressive/socialist policies and socialist/commies promulgating those politicies, not attacking Hayworth. Well, he won’t talk about the differences between he and JD because McCain isn’t Conservative and he isn’t pro-U.S.A. McCain is a globalist.
There is a nearly full-scale war going on the Texas/Mexican border. American consular employees have been murdered and Mexican military and police have crossed the border searching for criminals OR aiding/abetting narco traffickers - take your pick! Will Obama do anything except wring his hands and whimper? How about McCain? Don’t hold you breath waiting for either man to call for action!
And McCain, what is he saying about any of these issues?
Good info here.
Yep, getting tierd of being "civil".
Really. This same mess would now be being blamed on "the Republican administration" by the drive-by media. Would have been so much better that way!
