I guess they don’t have votes.

To me, a vote of yes is grounds for Impeachment.

For want of a congress like the one that pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for liberty.

Now we have one that pledges only bribes, kickbacks, and tyranny for our enslavement.

I am disgusted. I feel betrayed. First we learn that there is no law in effect that requires a presidential candidate to show proof that he is a natural born citizen. Now we learn that Congress doesn’t really have to win a vote to pass a law, they can just DEEM it passed.

Our system of government was designed to be run by civilized men of good will. Instead, we have a pack of barbarians in DC. Send them all home, except Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor.

The ‘fix’ bill...wouldn’t it have to pass the Senate before going to the Marxist for signature, and thus raise the specter of reconciliation?

So then the Senate would have the Republicans raising lots of amendments on which the parliamentarian would have to rule, which could torpedo the ‘fix’ bill. So that should cause House members to be reticent on trusting the Senate and hopefully lead to key ‘no’ votes on the HCR bill.

This is labyrinthine and so tortured. The only thing that has been stretched and contorted more than the legislative process is Madam Speaker’s leather face.

Let’s hope that they choke on this spaghetti bowl of complexity.

If “HCR” was such a great idea, you'd think that they would be falling over themselves to get their names on it. But they know that this is a socialist takeover of the country. IMHO, being voted out of office should be the LEAST of their worries, the pusillanimous traitors.

The dems will unleash a sh*tstorm of a magnitude that their feeble out-of-touch elitist socialist brains can’t even imagine, if they trample the Constitution and deem anything. At the point at which they will deem something to be, they are part of an illegal government and The People will be moved to act in defense of The Constitution.

Praying for the best, that the bill is killed, and shot twice just to be sure it’s really dead.

The package of ammendments is dead if it is not passed as a package deal. There is no way the Senate would pass changes to their own bill just to make Congress happy. Is the bill dead without the package of fixes? How many “bribed” votes will they lose?

Is there an ongoing Live Democratic Chaos thread started, or could this become it?

I'm going out to the lobby to grab some Snowcaps and popcorn...

If this bill passes exactly as the Senate version doesn’t it mean that a bill passed without input from the House? Does this not, more or less, mean the House is impotent? Who, then needs them at all? It looks like a path to consolidation of power, first taking it from the people themselves - or rather TRYING to.

This is so reminding me of the BUSH vs. GORE, count the Chads debacle.

Remember that every time GORE or his Attorneys tried something, they were so confused and stopped by another court, til finally ONE Great Judge made the correct decision put this to an end. This is happening before our eyes once more. Thank you Lord.

There is just no way for them to find a way around all of their criminal activity under any law, yet they keep digging.

Sounds like they have tied themselves into knots... again. Are they going to vote against it before they vote for it, or the other way around? I just love this “most ethical congress in history”!

It's not so much the House avoiding responsibility, as it's that the DEMs have insufficient votes in the Senate to pass the health bill with the House changes, i.e., "the dreaded filibuster" comes into play, if the House amends it and sends it back.

The House is making its position very clear - it will take HR 3590, ONLY IF it is modified by reconciliation. If reconciliation is "not passed," then HR 3590 isn't "deemed passed."
