Instead of having a vote just *say* that the bill would have passed and move forward.
House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday.
Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes to the Senate version.
Yes, as if the kickbacks and deals weren't corrupt enough, now they're blatantly "avoiding votes".
Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about their plans for Healthcare, and so willing to trust them.
Here's the basic civics.
Apparently, some Democrats can’t seem to tell the difference between a rule of debate and just declaring by rule that the House has passed a bill that they have not, when the Constitution itself expressly states that “in all [] Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays[.]” What Slaughter and Pelosi here are attempting here is a blatant violation of the principles of bicameralism and presentment.
It makes perfect sense that these people have contempt for the rule of law and limited goverment. They want their reformation and power and they want it now. Things like the law are like taxes and other rules, they're for the little people.
What do you expect from people who hold the First and Second amendments in contempt?
