That is an absurd response.
I'm no more a Constitutional Scholar than Omugabe is, but if memory serves me right not all House Originated bills conclude their journey into law. Nor do they all address taxation revenue.
Why wasn't one of those "dead" numbers used?
In other words, the number of the bill originated in the house; the remainder of the proposed bill, or "law"" did not.
Sending just a number to the senate for approval, a blank check, so to speak, has never happened in history, and is meaningless.
Even historic legal systems and lawyers are not that stupid. In spite of the historic observation that "The Law is A Ass..."
My response isn’t absurd. Reid’s actions were. Don’t shoot the messenger for bad news.
