Please of please keep the motion to recommit limited to the Stupak amendment and not an overly laden amendment will tort reform, etc. Make the Stupak abortion people vote no on the motion to recommit on just the abortion question (making them flip floppers) and not give them an excuse to vote against the motion for other reasons.

No harm in trying.

It doesn’t matter. The Senate bill will be approved, regardless of the reconciliation process. Stupak just got screwed over because the Senate bill will allow federal funded abortions. And there’s no way Obama will sign the executive order. Why? Because there is absolutely no recourse for Stupak if Obama doesn’t.

Per a FReeper's earlier post:

A motion to recommit returns a bill to committee, in effect killing it. However, a motion to recommit with instructions is a last opportunity to amend the bill.

The instructions to the committee direct changes to the text of the bill. If adopted, the chairman of the named committee immediately stands and reports the change back to the House. The next step is the House vote on final passage of the bill.

Minority Members receive priority of recognition for offering motions to recommit. --C-Span Congressional Glossary

This will fail also. Don't believe Stupak. He won't support the recommit.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRAT.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRO-LIFE DEMOCRAT.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PRO-GUN DEMOCRAT.

They have to honor Boehner’s Motion to Recommit.

Oh, it will be. Carl Cameron just said the language will seek to undo the effect of the executive order.

Small correction. Emmanuel was in the House of Representatives. But yes, that was the tactic he used.

DOH!!! You are correct, My head is someplace else :-)

I think this is a good move by the Republicans. It puts all the dimoKKKRATS on the spot. Come election time it will give them no wiggle room when trying to explain their votes. Their Republican opponents can use it against them as this was an opportunity to change the legislation and they did not.

IN REALITY: It's a last ditch attempt to amend the bill.

And IN REALITY if the Repubs do it right, and duh Dems vote to defeat the recommit, Stupak and pack will be painted as liars without any wiggleroom.

I’m having a Sam Adams before the health care taxes raise the price of my unhealthy lifestyle.

Grieve for America, get over it, and gather yourself for the coming revolt, were gonna have a hot time in the old town.

Sounds like a plan, especially sense we have run out of alternatives.
