We need two estimates: a count for “the bill” and a count for the “slaughter rule”. If they only have enough for the latter, a count will help to point out the usurping nature of what they are doing.
But...but...but...they are going to have the vote any day, that’s why Obama is staying in town and they kept congress in session.
It is vital we hold this off long enough to get to Easter recess and allow congress to go home for a week. They’ll get such an ear full they’ll the number against will be well over 216.
I also believe if they go home over Easter and find out what people really think of the “Slaughter rule” it will be dead in it’s tracks.
Frankly, voting for the Slaughter rule is WORSE in my eyes than voting outright for Obamacare. There is no doubt the Slaughter rule is the shreeding of our Constitution.
I don’t know if anybody has done both counts, and as you suggfest, it’s significant. I’ll keep my eyes open -— and if you come across counts for the “bill” vs the “slaughter rule,” please ping me quick!
