[CyberAnt]

In other words .. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES ..!!!!!

May God have mercy on anybody who votes for this mess.

[RonboTex]

Mark Levin essentially said the same thing as Michael McConell. There is NO ambiquity in that section of the constitution.....

Besides the House signing the original Senate bill as-is, Obozo must sign it before it becomes law.

This is what the Senate Parliamentarian said as well last week. Rumor has it , he was called to the white house tonight.

[Blonde]

Yep. I saw that the destruction of our economy. The new taxes will permanently wipe out the middle class.

[thecodont]

This is the “shell” bill?

[CyberAnt]

I’ll drink to that !!!!

[OldDeckHand]

"This guy, Michael McConell, says the so-called 'Slaughter Rule' is unconstituional. He's a former federal judge. "

I suspect if they actually go forward with this, the public will learn more about bicameralism and the presentment clause than they learned their entire American Government class (assuming people still have to take that now). What the OJ trial did for DNA, this debacle will do for Art 1, Sec 7.

“The public option is back.”

“Democrats release 2300-page reconciliation bill *Updated*”
http://www.redstate.com/bs/2010/03/14/breaking-democrats-release-2300-page-reconciliation-bill-with-a-public-option/

“And it appears they’ve decided to go all-in on this one. Included in the bill appears to be the “public option” that was removed from the Senate bill. From page 1167 of the bill:

Subtitle B—Public Health Insurance Option

SEC. 221. ESTABLISHMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF A PUBLIC HEALTH INSURANCE OPTION AS AN EXCHANGE-QUALIFIED HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN.

(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—For years beginning with Y1, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (in this subtitle referred to as the ‘‘Secretary’’) shall provide for the offering of an Exchange-participating health benefits plan (in this subdivision referred to as the ‘‘public health insurance option’’) that ensures choice, competition, and stability of affordable, high quality coverage throughout the United States in accordance with this subtitle. In designing the option, the Secretary’s primary responsibility is to create a low-cost plan without compromising quality or access to care.

I’m no legislator, but this sure sounds like a public option to me.

The logic escapes me. If the Democrats didn’t write their own death warrant with the 12/24/09 Senate bill, this should pretty much seal it.

Let me add one other comment, based on a twitter msg from one of our colleagues: when the Dems try to ram through legislation using an unconstitutional process like the “Slaughter Solution”, we should not trust them on anything.”

He [Congressman Ryan] said he expected Democrats to dust off last year's health care bills from the Education and Labor and Ways and Means Committees, to use as the vehicle for reconciliation changes.

This reminds me of one of those parasitic wasps that lays its eggs on a caterpillar, and the hatched larvae eat the caterpillar from the inside out.

“I still don’t like the “deemed” part but it would buy us some time to fight it.”

NO, NO, NO — “deemed” passed means that even though the House doesn’t have the votes to really vote on it, they “deem” that they pass the Senate bill and as soon as the “deeming” is done, the Senate bill is considered passed by the House and Obama will sign it immediately and it will become LAW. Then the Senate bill IS THE LAW of the land., whether or not the reconciliation is or isn’t passed by the Senate, we have Obamacare.

[MestaMachine]

This is an absolute DECLARATION OF WAR from the obama administration on the American People.
This is going to be a hell of a battle, and I will tell anyone and everyone right now, IF they do this, the battlefield will get bloody.
We have so far won every battle we have fought on this. WE WILL NOT LOSE THE WAR!

You betcha!
