House reauthorizes Hyde Amendment, despite protests from 2020 Dems
Fox News ^ | 06/21/2019 | Alex Pappas, Chad Pergram

The Democratic-controlled House on Wednesday approved a spending bill that included a reauthorization of the so-called Hyde Amendment barring federal money for abortions, despite a recent bubbling of vocal opposition to the amendment from liberals and 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.


There was no direct, up-or-down vote on the Hyde Amendment itself. It was ensconced inside the spending package of Labor and Health and Human Services appropriations. It passed 226-203.


No Republicans supported the spending bill. Six Democrats, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive firebrand, voted against it. Asked about the Hyde Amendment, she told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday: “I think that we need to repeal it.”

Ironic in a sense. Zero GOP votes. This is a vote on a mixed bag appropriations bill. I don't know if there is anything for border enforcement.

I’m sure that the spending bill is fully compliant with the post-17th Amendment ratification Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. /sarc
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


Patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT’s vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes indicated by Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.

And to make such changes permanent, patriots also need to support PJDT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA, now KAG!

Thanks for reply.

Since women are paying federal taxes it is right for them to have the power to vote for federal elected offices imo.
