As a proud TEA Party member, I have this to add.....

“We’re the ones we’ve been waiting for”. LOL

If there is no Constitutional challenge to this provision, then the fault for the complete destruction of our government is our own.

Hannity just said it was announced any Senator who voted against the bill will not be eligible for the Super Congress Committee.

That needs to be confirmed though. Hannity sometimes doesn’t get it right.

Seems to me to be unconstitutional, both because we outlaw have Bills of Attainder and because all persons in congress get equal representation.

We’ll be watching who they nominate for the committee. If there are no solid fiscal conservatives on the committee there will be hell to pay at the ballot box.

It’s unconstitutional anyway.

Not that this matters to the leaders of the USSA.

***************************

Levin spoke about this last night, and you could hear the grief and fatigue in his voice. He raised a good question though: “Where will you find better?”*

It would indeed be hard to find better.

The thing that cannot be accepted in this though, is the Royal Congress. How anyone faithful to their oath of office could vote for -that- is quite beyond me.

*He was against primarying West, for the record.

I understand Boehner and McConnell pick from the House....and likely the other two dipwads from the Senate.

There seems to be a question if those in the Senate who oppossed this bill would not be eligible to serve on that committee.

This is not going to go well, even appointing these guys. What an affront to our consititution and all the other representatives who will have no say....let alone the people who expect their representatives voice to be heard in determining what is brought to the table for consideration.

“Wouldn’t surprise me if McConnell sent Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, and Scott Brown.”

The fix is in for “revenue increases”. We will get a conservative but I guarantee you McConnell will also pick a RINO who will cave.

We need to primary Corker and Hatch. Hopefully that will put some fear in Deputy Dawg.

I agree wholeheartedly with that. As well as it should provide cause to replace the Speaker of the House and Senate Minority Leader with more conservative leaders.
