Would that be Matsui from Cal district 5 in Sacramento.?
Isn’t she outside protesting..? : ) rallying the troops!
Freaking Unreal.
Matsui, CA Dem on now giving a children’s lesson and saying absolutely nothing except I like to hear myself speak. She doesn’t have any idea of what she is saying. How did she get elected? It sure wasn’t because of brains as she is displaying she has none.
ROFL!
That chick looks STONED!
They are going to use the money collected for the first four years to fund their stimulus.
Funny how they care so much about those without health insurance (i’m one, i’m laid off), that for four (4) years 4 x 45,000 (according to dummy dems) will die from the dem plan that doesn’t start for 4 years.
“Hurrah for anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life.”
union activist George Engel, before his hanging.
Is that the “disgraced Judge”, Alcee?
That picture just screams “Larry Sinclair was right.”
I won’t touch that one. ;)
I agree...this soooo does not make any sense!
Keep fighting. The total corruption and sickening dishonesty is coming out. The USA is now like a third world country with these repulsive Dems. Like Kenya or something.
Heehee...
“To me, a vote of yes is grounds for Impeachment.”
Also each and every Congressman voting for this measure should be tried for treason.
don’t be dense. The scheduled official non official “deem to pass” vote is tomorrow. These are just preliminary counts. A poll if you will. no one will know for sure if anything went “afoul” until the votes are all cast tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure the votes are going to be in favor of passing the deem to pass.
At present, people are just negotiating and trying to get an idea if the DNC will be ok with them *not* voting for it. I’m sure they’ve already all decided they will pass it, it’s just a matter of negotiating who will be allowed to vote against it and who will get what for voting in favor of the official unofficial deeming it to pass vote.
As far as the Constitution goes, Congress may have a right to pass things under the general welfare clause, BUT not if they violate any other clauses. (9th Amendment) The enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny of disparage other retained by the people. That leads to the following conflicts:
Requiring one to “purchase” something under penalty of law and threat of deadly force, as a condition of lawful citizenship is not delegated to the federal government, and therefore is reserved to the states or the people (10th Amendment) and (5th Amendment): No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law: nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. - (forcing one to part with property aka premium cost or penalty tax - without a court hearing violates the due process clause.)
A national insurance program is a pool of private money being spread across the public for coverage of some of the costs. Those monies would be used to cover those that cannot afford insurance. Non-participation would be illegal and enforceable through the IRS - based on income tax reports. This violates the 5th Amendment clause against self incrimination and the 5th amendment clauses against being forced to be a witness against oneself. (Form 1040 is a document signed under oath and penalty of law.) Also it violates the last clause of the 5th Amendment in that the private property (insurance premiums or penalty taxes) are taken for public use without just compensation. An insurance policy in lieu of legal tender is not just compensation.
They ARE going to ram this blatant act of Tyranny down our throats. Non-compliance IS an option. Full-scale rebellion in DC is another. If they no longer fear being voted out, then the time for drastic action is upon us.
Think about all of the things they tried to accuse Republicans of doing when they were the majority. Culture of corruption, destroying the constitution and all of that. I don’t think they can ever do that again. Because there is now concrete proof that it is the liberal party that is trying to destroy it all.
