Uh- wasn’t that Bush appointee Sec Paulson’s plan?

I worry that Obama is going to contract some dread disease; probably cancer.

He should never have let Hillary get so close with that hollow ring of hers.

I’m not joking (Well, maybe she won’t actually dose his food herself). She still burns with rage over what he did to her.

His announcement was designeed to hopefully get more people off their rears.

The actual vocabulary used isn't so important.

NOW I'm seriously thinking that I need to vote for a third party.

Why? There's not a damned thing Drier can do about it. He doesn't have the votes. The GOP is the MINORITY PARTY!!!! What is it that you people expect them to do???? Boehner is trying to force a vote but if Pelosi decides to push this to the wall she can only be stopped by her party.

You missed the point of his analogy to court proceedings - the key point is there IS NOT unanimous consent on the issue; whereas this issue is quite contested and dotting the i's and crossing the t's could very well determine failure.

It is very germane & salient to the heart of Art I Sec 7.

...the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled on matters of procedure, just on content of legislation.

From the article: "As the Supreme Court wrote in Clinton v. City of New York (1998), a bill containing the ‘exact text’ must be approved by one house; the other house must approve ‘precisely the same text.’”

Sure sounds like they ruled on (relevent) procedure to me.

Drier can speak differently.

He should understand the Constitution. He should have a firm opinion on this matter (i.e it is unconstitutional). He should have constitutional experts on tap who will stand up and agree with him. And he should state loudly that the Democrats are trashing our entire system of government.

Instead, he stands up and says "I'm clueless. I have no opinion. Have a nice day."

Leadership? Look elsewhere.

TRANSLATION: Drier is too busy hiding under his desk to work his rear end off figuring out a way to STOP this thuggery. Drier is a pi$$-ant, spineless, limp-wristed McCain look alike. Yet another house RINO has been exposed.

Just a question. What power does he have to stop them?

Just asking. I thought the GOP could not stop them.

I always suspect sentences that start out with either Folks, or Freepers, etc.

This sounds true to me, and pretty much SOP for the GOP

All they guy has to do is read a bit of the constitution.

I'm wondering if obama knows he can't get it passed and is using this dumb bass move to "pass" it and then have it ruled unconstitutional.

Didn't Bush think the same thing with McLame-FineGold?

I'll tell you what we DON'T expect the GOP to do, and that is for a guy that is NOT a constitutional expert, to come out and make definitive statements on the constitutionality of this outrage, in favor of Pelosi’s crimes. Why the heck is a guy that is not a constitutional lawyer in charge of the GOP's members in the House Rules Committee anyways?

Boehner is trying to force a vote but if Pelosi decides to push this to the wall she can only be stopped by her party. “

No.
There is something called the US Supreme Court. They are the final arbiters of what is, and is not constitutional. There is going to be a very tough, nasty fight on this, whether feminized idiots like Drier like it or not.

He can warn the Democrats that they won't always be in power and that what can be 'deemed' can also be 'undeemed' as well.

The GOP needs to let the Democrats know in both chambers that they will face the same tactics if they use them on this Bill.

“A spark that leads to action that allows Barry 0 to declare Martial Law, suspend elections and declare himself ruler.”

Given his Narcissistic Personality Disorder, I think that he will prefer the title “fuehrer”. Check out this article when you have a few minutes (long). Obama was pegged way back in 08.

Bears repeating again.

From the article: "As the Supreme Court wrote in Clinton v. City of New York (1998), a bill containing the ‘exact text’ must be approved by one house; the other house must approve ‘precisely the same text.’”


Pelosi and Duh Dims "pass" this Senate bill without a vote -- it is DOA when it hits the courts.
