Would House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow House Democratic leaders try to cram the Senate version of Obamacare through the House without actually having a recorded vote on the bill?
Not only is the answer yes, they would, they have figured out a way to do it, according to National Journal's Congress Daily:
"House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday.
"Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.
"Slaughter has not taken the plan to Speaker Pelosi as Democrats await CBO scores on the corrections bill. 'Once the CBO gives us the score, we'll spring right on it,' she said."
Each bill that comes before the House for a vote on final passage must be given a rule that determines things like whether the minority would be able to offer amendments to it from the floor.
In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but they would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself.

“By the time it got to the USSC, Obama may have appointed one or two more of his leftist buddies, possibly replacing more conservative judges.”
Unless one of the conservative judges retires all odumbo can do is replace a leftist with a leftist so the balance stays the same.
There doesn’t seem to be a conservative Supreme ready to leave. Thank God.

I agree. It will be the army of the left leaning, Socialist/communist hearts against those who will fight to no end to be free. Our side has the greatest cause, because our freedoms are inherent and granted to us by the highest power.
commie cleansing......
If she gets 4 more Dems to back her the can be the Slaughter House Five.
Michelle Bachmann on Laura Ingraham right now talking about this.
But the real question here is, Ms. Slaughter, will the bill prevent people from having to wear their dead sister’s teeth?
These people are so stupendously unAmerican and moronic...
Stupak says he isn’t in on the Leadership meetings. Says there is no “President’s Bill”, but his comments on the “Slaughter Solution” indicate he would go for it; says the bills could be “tie barred”.
True SCOTUS could overturn this if it gets passed. Given that there is no love lost between Zero and SCOTUS(even less now that Zero slapped them around during the so-called State of the Union speech)they may be even more inclined to overturn it.
There isn’t enough secret service and police to protect these tyrants from the American people if they pass this bill. As individual families begin to see the financial impact, family members sicken and die because of inadequate care, you will see organized violence against the people responsible for this bill’s passage. The American people have told Congress their will on this matter and they ignore it at their peril. I am not advocating violence,I just won’t be surprised when it starts.
Good play on words, not so good for our country.
As every day goes by our lawmakers prove themselves to be more and more lawless —
Or he’ll do like FDR and just expand the court. He may try to make it go to 11 judges.
And it really doesn’t matter the rules for it...they’ll just do it with congressional consent.
When commie rags like Mother Jones starts reporting that he’s going to cut and gut SS and Medicare....buyer beware.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
