Wrong. Reid took a House bill that had no chance of passing in the Senate, lopped off all of the actual text in that House-originated bill, added all of the ObamaCare text and passed it.
Thus, technically, the ObabaCare bill, at least the HR bill number, originated in the House.
It is a corrupt way to do it, but that, in a very small nutshell, is Harry Reid.
In other words, I am completely correct. The bill that originated in the House raised no revenue. Case closed.
Bcsco posted the history and the bill numbers earlier today. The house bill was voted down. Then the Senate produced their own bill with a different number. It was not reconcilled but forced through the House with the midnight vote.
All the extralegal shenanigans by the Obother administration and his Rat myrmidons could fill a book.
It shouldn’t matter that the bill came from the House. The question is where did the penalty come from.
Perhaps a lawsuit should be filed. Perhaps Roberts missed this in his zeal to uphold the law.
Yeah, just call him Gadianton Harry.
