It' will be close to a high-noon showdown on Sunday, as shortly thereafter the final debate on President Obama's health-care legislation is set to begin.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced the weekend debate schedule, with a 72-hour march culminating at 1 p.m. Sunday. Democrats expect a final vote sometime Sunday evening, Sunday night or possibly early Monday morning.
Hoyer also announced that the House will be considering legislation Sunday on protecting oceans and public lands -- one of which is likely to serve as the back-stop vote. On critical legislation such as this health-care vote, leaders usually place one bill to be voted on after the high-profile vote, as a way to force lawmakers to stay in the chamber after voting in case Democrats need to try to twist arms to get members to change 'no' votes to 'yes'.

Me thinks the EVIL rats have the votes! SIGH/:(
Palm. Sunday.
It's time to secede!
Oh, wait. I’m a week behind. Palm Sunday is the last Sunday before the recess.
The Fox new DC office is full of lefties .
Roger Ailes had to tell them to visit and tell them to shut up about Glenn Beck trashing.
Reminds of us Christmas week uh? Now over our Easter season....they have no respect..oh they are just the absolute slim of this earth! I will never forget this! I am feeling the anger of God toward Washington.
Yeah, they know nothing more than we do and just assume that you can read the tea leaves in the same way. I.e., Nancy would not schedule a vote if she didn’t have the votes.
The old rules are out the window. They are willing to bluff this.
No, it’s not.
Michele Bachman says the IRS will check monthly to make sure we have ‘acceptable’ insurance. Our confidential tax payer information will be turned over to Health and Human Services. She says it is in the bill.
‘SHUT DOWN THE PROCESS ALTOGETHER.’
How?
Secede... maybe not... War.... maybe so.
exactly, read what rep Ryan said.
its the force them to vote strategy and the Fox leftist in the DC office are all giddy.
Roger Ailies had to tell the Wash DC office to cool it the other day.
If ObamaCare passes, how are we going to repeal it? By that time, it’ll be time to SECEDE!
The suicide note will be written on Sunday, but the bodies will not be fully counted until November.
Jim Jones approach was much quicker.
“On critical legislation such as this health-care vote, leaders usually place one bill to be voted on after the high-profile vote, as a way to force lawmakers to stay in the chamber after voting in case Democrats need to try to twist arms to get members to change ‘no’ votes to ‘yes’.”
Uh twist arms, threaten death, threaten families...you know, whatever it takes. Just another Sunday for the RATS in the sewer trying to destroy this once great nation.
Just like we repealed 60% marginal tax rates.
I fear you are right about the war part. I have never seen so many folks so upset. I don’t think the Deemocrats fully understand the level of angry concerning this issue.
