DRUDGE: Fix Bill may NOT advance in Senate

Drudge Report ^

[AlanD]

Obama has agreed not to rescind the Executive Order until after November 2, 2010.

[LostInBayport]

The Senate may not care, but certain House members are only voting on this under the assurance certain fixes will take place. Without that assurance their vote could change.

Then I trust the Republican House members are disseminating this story to their colleagues...so they won't be able to deny knowing about it.

It's not like we can call them, after all...Stupak's mailbox is still full.

“Without that assurance their vote could change.

With all the double-dealing by House leadership, it would be wonderful if just 1 or 2 or 3 brave souls peeled away on their commitments to vote “Yes” on grounds that this new wrinkle created too much risk that the only thing that would get enacted into law would be the current Senate language, which everyone universally agrees is a bad bill in need of fixing. They could reasonably claim that their prior commitment to vote Yes was contingent on strong assurances that reconciliation would pass. The truth is, if House were forced to make an up or down vote on Senate bill without ANY prospect of reconciliation, they do not have a majority willing to vote for such a bad bill.

It will be sweet when CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERT'S gets to rule this UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Obama is going to wish he could take back those comments he made about the Supremes at the State of the Union Address.

DON STEWART, McCONNELL SPOKESMAN: “Republicans have been trying to set up a meeting with Senate Democrats since yesterday to discuss this fatal point of order but have been met with nothing but silence. We suspect Democrats are slow walking us so as to have the House vote first. Since Senate Democrats refuse to meet with us and the Parliamentarian, we’ve informed our colleagues in the House that we believe the bill they’re now considering violates the clear language of Section 310g of the Congressional Budget Act, and the entire reconciliation bill is subject to a point of order and rejection in the Senate should it pass the House.”

"Since when have rules and law stopped the dems? "

"There ain't no rules here, we're trying to accomplish something. . . .All this talk about rules. . . .When the deal goes down . . . we make 'em up as we go along."

Alcee Hastings in full blown preacher mode, calling himself a radical socialist—and PROUD OF IT. Please tell me he’s up for re-election this year?!
Now he’s invoking Reagan??? Oh, the blasphemy. >:-(

Remember that the Devil can quote Scripture when it serves his purposes. Hastings is no different.

Well this whole thing is not over until the fat lady sings fro the floor of the house.

Still a very fluid situation.

[upchuck]

Alcee Hastings... Please tell me he’s up for re-election this year?!

Alcee Hastings is a United States Representative. ALL US Reps are up for reelection this year, as they are every two years.

What a shame civics is no longer taught in school.
