White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama has no constitutional concerns about signing a bill passed by controversial House rules that are being proposed by Democrats to pass healthcare.
Obama, a former constitutional law professor, would sign a bill if it is passed by the controversial "Slaughter Solution," Gibbs said.
The proposal would deem the Senate version of the bill passed after House approval without an actual vote in the House. House Republicans have cried foul, and many have questioned whether that process would be constitutional.
But Obama has downplayed any controversy surrounding the procedure, telling Fox News Channel on Wednesday that the American people are more concerned with healthcare reform than the process.

(/sarc, in case it's not obvious -- problem is Obama really does think and acts this way)
Demon Pass
I said that once about him and was promptly informed that he was a lecturer not a professor.
More proof that Gibbs is dumber than snot.
Hey Gibbs, can the healthcare bill stand up to each State declaring ObamaCare null and void and enacting their own nullification ordinances in response? 1832 ring a bell to you, idiot?
I’m ripping this off from someone else, can’t remember which Freeper, time to “deem” my taxes paid. :) even if they aren’t.
Hey Gibblet, let’s see what the court has to say about that.
You know, the SCOTUS, the court your beloved odongo PO’ed during the SOTU address...yeah, those guys!!!!
Of course it’s unconstitutional. The great constitutional lawyer Obama has spoken. /sarc
You can’t appeal to the Constitution when...
a) the Constitution has been suspended; and
b) the Supreme Court has no army to enforce its will against the combined force of the Executive and the Legislative branches.
Gibbs denied reports that Obama has promised lawmakers campaign appearances or fundraising assistance in exchange for their votes
This is the first glimmer of truth, as no Dem in their right mind would want Ozombi at their side in the campaign.
Mrs. Gibbs’ little Bobby seems to have forgotten that his “messiah” really pissed off SCOTUS during his phony baloney, plastic banana SOTU dog and pony show. Payback is a ....
I think there are 4 guys on that court that could muster an army at the drop of a hat...
What we need to do is accept the inevitable and realize they are going to declare that something is going to pass, and let the states al line up to file lawsuits...
Which the Feds will hem and haw, ignore and delay...Meanwhile the raping of the rest of our pocketbooks will commence the second it is declared “passed”...They need to get the taxes in place and collecting right away, and let the legality and Constitutionality of their bill and actions to be played as drawn out as possible...
In the meantime we are definetly going to see some dramatic changes in the Legislative branch in November...But that will not do us much good at that point...
We’ll have to see now what will really happen...
Jahwohl, Herr Gibbels!

He was a part time ( 2 hour a week ) paid lecturer at the U of Chicago.
A coworker on Mark Levin show said the guy was a nasty piece of work and was place there by a local politicians.
The HILL lies .
The HILL is a lefty rag.
Justice Alito's reaction
