I believe this deeming nonsense has no validity at all. Read down far enough in the link below and you will see that ‘deeming’ is for resolutions which have no force of law, but NOT for bills, the requirements for which are quite clearly spelled out in the Constitution and again at the link.

I heard Rush agree with my assessment today; he termed this the ‘overthrow of the Constitution’... seems inescapable to me.

Disenfranchise the voters. Nancy Pelosi rules the most unethical Congress in history. Impeach. Impeach. Impeach.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --

We must ask ourselves if we love our Liberties more than they love to control us.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Title does not match article. Should be “Pelosi trades shots with GOP over health care”

[SmithL]

They changed their headline. This wasn’t the first time, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Note to our legislators, (which you may copy and send)

PLEASE VOTE AGAINST this insane health care bill. It is over 2,400 pages long and I can not in good conscience pay for those who choose to have their pre-born babies killed via abortion.
It flies in the face of my faith and my belief in the significance of our responsibility to PROTECT HUMAN LIFE and liberty. In addition, I do not believe it is constitutional for the Govt. to require anyone to buy public health care. There are MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT and MOST AMERICANS DON’T WANT IT!

Those who support this bill will effectively end their political careers doing so, because it’s being orchestrated using back room and one on one deals, with legislators who have never read it and don’t intend to sign it.

The unconstitutional tactics being used reflect VERY POORLY on this administration and anyone who supports this bill.

PLEASE, stand with the American people by voting AGAINST THIS BILL, for the sake of life and liberty, as well as for the well being of your political career.

KILL THE BILL!
