U.S. Democrats took to the Senate floor on Monday to throw a spotlight on behind-the-scenes efforts by the Republican majority to repeal former President Barack Obama's healthcare law, known as Obamacare.
In a series of floor motions, inquiries and lengthy speeches, Democrats criticized the closed-door meetings that Republicans have been holding to craft a replacement for Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act. They called for open committee hearings and more time to consider the bill before a Senate vote, which Republicans say could come in the next two weeks, although a draft bill has yet to emerge publicly.
Lacking the votes to derail or change the Republican process, the maneuvers by the Democratic minority seemed more aimed at highlighting Republican efforts on a controversial issue. Polls have said that a majority of Americans disapprove of the Obamacare replacement that has passed the House of Representatives and that Senate Republicans are now considering.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said that the closed-door Republican meetings on healthcare amounted to "the most glaring departure from normal legislative procedure that I have ever seen."

Was Chu-Chu-Chuckie crying when he said it...
It was all fine and dandy when they conjured up the Obamanation of O’Shitcare behind closed doors and didn’t allow ANY republican input whatsoever. Freakin’ hypocrites.
Yep, the Dems conveniently forget the days when they didn't even bother to tell the Repubs that a committee meeting was scheduled. No sense in inviting the impotent to the discussion.
Exactly....what a bunch of hypocrites.
I pass things like Nancy’s bill every morning.
They are going to have LESS power after 2018 than they have now...
If they think that all this crap that is being pulled with Muller and his gang of Hillary Clinton supporters are going to get her in the White House, forget about that...
They are not going to win more votes from the American Voters in 2020, they are going to win less, we know what they are doing with this ‘hearing crap’ they are drawing out, it's all a ‘pony and cart show’ and it is costing this Country and taxpayers money that neither have...
President Trump: I strongly URGE you to call this crap off, you have not been found guilty of anything, nor will you be...you are a fighter, and it's time to take the gloves off and put these frauds in their place...
You fired Comey because he is a POS and so are the rest of them, hold overs is what I am talking about...so do it, get it over with and lets move this Country forward!!!
“Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said that the closed-door Republican meetings on healthcare amounted to ‘the most glaring departure from normal legislative procedure that I have ever seen.’”
Leftists like Schmuckner never cease their wicked hypocrisy, but there are times when it is so egregious that it deserves for a good conservative to reach across the isle slap a fools teeth out.
What the Democrats did with Obamacare is a thousand times more evil and oppressive than ANYTHING Great Britain ever did to first-generation Americans. If the founders were here today, they would be cleaning up the rivers of blood from dead liberals. These fascist tyrants can’t sleep without thinking up some new abuse to perpetrate on the weak, innocent, or righteous.
They are not satisfied to kill babies and sell their body parts, they have to think of ways to make conservatives pay for and agree with it. They are not satisfied with the promotion of sexual deviancy and perversion, they demand that any who disagree be fired from their jobs, imprisoned, or even killed. They demand that children be turned over to these filthy animals to indoctrinate and abuse.
The punishment these things deserves is beyond what any human can morally mete out. Those who commit these crimes against nature and humanity deserve death, and not a pleasant one. Is it possible that such wicked men will escape the eternal torments of hell?
Who said you had to pass zerocare to find out what’s in it.
Oh yeah, that was Pelosi
They do have a point, but they’re in no position to make that point.
ROFL! Thanks for the giggles. I needed a bit of funny this morning.
My husband made a small cut shaving, and a small amount of blood
got on his shirt collar.
So I turned on the ice-cold water in the bathroom sink and I washed
the blood away. Then I put it (the shirt) in the dryer, and it’s
still in there, nice and dry with his Paul Fredrick shirt.
Gotta go get it out of the dryer so that Bryan (hubby) can
get to work on time. He’s going to make it, thank goodness!
LOL! Me too!
