You’re right, I just checked the Constitution.
Unbelievable. Headline for the Article: Pelosi Respects Constitution for DTV Vote
Ouch!
That stings.
Obama’s first legislative push goes down.
[Good. Heck, they’ve been pushing this on us for 2 years. I’m sick of all the change-over ads, etc. Let is happen and let’s get on with it.]
He’ll just direct Treasurt Secretary Tim Tax Cheat Geitner to allocate money for convertor boxes for their target reparations folks.
I don’t expect this to hold. Pelosi can fast-track this through thanks to all her recent rule changes. You can’t object to a request to remove a bill from committee anymore, so she puts it into committee, immediately pulls it out, and it comes back to the floor. I’m thinking two days max.
Watch how fast those idiots learn how to convert once their sets stop working.
Only comment that makes sense.
This is legislative chicanery and the GOP just sent a shot across the bow on how Pelosi is behaving.
She will get it passed soon enough once they do it in ‘regular order’.
For the Obama supporters on the thread who can’t figure it out, the bill needed 2/3 of the votes to pass.
WE have two parties, Dem or Repo. Get over it.
Third Parties always give us democrats, since they both agree with most issues, anti war, close Gitmo, 9/11 Truthers, etc. it makes for a nice trojan horse
for the Democrats.
You took the time to direct the poster to the article. Why could you not have politely taken the time to answer the question directly?
We reached that stage years ago when governments started financing sports arenas.
