FOX is still reporting on the tea-party racial slurs; they didn’t the news yet that it was a slanderous accusation proven to be false. They are in their usual weekend cable coma.

Meanwhile, where in the world is Loretta Sanchez?

http://hotair.com/archives/2010/03/21/do-they-have-the-votes/
Meanwhile, not only does it look like liberal Loretta Sanchez is a no, it also looks like she’s MIA:
As their whip efforts narrow to just a handful of Members, House Democratic leaders are facing an unlikely problem vote: Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.).
Sanchez was nowhere to be found on Saturday — she was in Florida on a fundraising jaunt, two Democratic sources said — and while leaders expected her to return for the Sunday vote on final passage, they weren’t assured. What’s more, leaders now list the Orange County Democrat as a “no” vote.
Sanchez’s office did not return a request for comment Saturday evening. She cast her last vote shortly after 6 p.m. Friday and missed all seven recorded votes on Saturday, a review of the record shows.
Democratic hand-wringing about her status — geographically and intentionally — underlines just how tight the margin has become for leaders trying to zero in on 216 votes as the clock ticks down to their appointed deadline. Leaders are still hunting for a winning coalition of votes — and still struggling for a breakthrough abortion fix that will convert three or four holdouts angling for tougher protections against public funding of the procedure.

The Hill’s survey/tracking of House Democrats’ positions on healthcare reform legislation.
UPDATED: 3/21/10 at 11:43 a.m.

If every member votes and all GOP lawmakers vote no, the maximum number of Democratic defections to pass a bill is 37, which would result in a 216-215 tally.

Firm No, Leaning No, Likely No (37)

I am trying to find their actual email addresses, the link just goes to their US House web page which has a form you fill out. Those can get screened out easier if you don't live in their district.

Mention made in the Sor0bama inaugural address of the words

‘Life’:

1. “For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and travelled across oceans in search of a new life.”

2. “Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life.”


Liberty:

1. “(W)e remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honour them not only because they are the guardians of our liberty...”

2. “This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed - why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall...”


‘Happiness’ (or ‘happi’):

1. “(A)all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”


‘pursuit’

None


“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”

None


The inaugural, Tet and Khe Sanh:

I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone…

http://mattsteinglass.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/obamas-inaugural-address-and-vietnam/


The oppression and repression of the individual inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, should the DeathCare bill pass, removes your personal right to your own life and the liberty to make decisions about your own life. You as a person will exist only as data and spare parts for the likes of the super-rich, Deemoncrats and ACORN/whatever it’s called.

And, we will be “the largest muslim nation on earth” if Section 1402(g)(1) religious exemption applies to muslims.

The Sunday morning talk shows are full of incredibly lively debate, especially Karl Rove and David Plouffe on ABC News This Week. who went head to head:

Karl and the Republicans would be familiar with that,” Plouffe retorted. “Under their leadership, they took us from big budget surpluses to a $1.3 trillion deficit,” he said.
Rove hit back: “Look, you have run up more deficit, before this bill, in the first 20 months and 11 days of your term in office then was done in the entire Bush years!”

“Don’t be lecturing us about what you’re doing with the profligate spending that started last year with the failed stimulus bill,” Rove said, “and continued with your budget increases.”

“You will bankrupt the country, if this bill passes!” Rove insisted.

Plouffe responded with another jab: “Karl and the Republicans have zero credibility – about as much credibility as the country of Greece does to talk about fiscal responsibility.”

Rove, brandishing a white board with health care cost figures, interrupted: “For God’s sake, will you stop throwing around epithets and deal with the facts, for once David!”

Plouffe, rolling his eyes, responded: “Let’s put the fanciful chart away…”

Before he could finish, Rove interrupted: “It is not a fanciful chart, deal with the chart!”

It was pretty lively and Rove appeared ready to jump through the screen at Plouffe.

A way out? State Constitutional Amendment? read more at:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/19/AR2010031901470.html

Constitutional amendments.

Of course, there is one additional way for states to win a fight about the constitutionality of health-care legislation: Make it unconstitutional. Article V of the Constitution gives state legislatures the power to require Congress to convene a convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution. If two-thirds of state legislatures demand an amendment barring the federal regulation of health insurance or an individual mandate, Congress would be constitutionally bound to hold a convention.

Something like this happened in 1933 when Congress proposed and two-thirds of the states ratified the 21st Amendment, removing from the Constitution the federal power to prohibit the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol. But the very threat of an amendment convention would probably induce Congress to repeal the bill.
