The 2009 Carbon Tax Bill is a House passed piece of legislation. It was passed in 2009.

Correcting my comment above, what would happen is Reid would put it up for a vote in the Senate, where it would pass. This is why he’s going to restrict the use of the filibuster. Once passed it would be signed by Obama.

Scary stuff. How many bills failed in the 2007 to 2011 Dem controlled House that could be ressurected and passed in this manner???

I'm having no luck tracking down this supposed Carbon Bill.

I find no evidence of it yet.

The 2009 Carbon Tax Bill is a House passed piece of legislation. It was passed in 2009.

I'm no expert, but it's my understanding from way back in my high school civics days that a bill that hasn't been passed by both houses of congress dies at the end of that congressional term and would have to be started from scratch. So therefore, any carbon bill passed by the house in 2009 would have died after when that congress ended and the next congress took over in 2011.
