Obamacare's "Final Solution": Slaughter the Constitution


Louise Slaughters the Constitution


House aid confirms Slaughter Solution never used before; Still, 'they are moving down that road'

By: Mark Tapsc

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives have never before been asked to pass legislation by "deeming" it approved under a House rule instead of following the process required by the U.S. Constitution in which they actually vote on the proposal itself, according to a senior aide to House Republicans.

The procedure - dubbed by critics as the "Slaughter Solution" - is the brain-child of House Rules Committee Chairman Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-NY, who, at the request of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, is trying to fashion a rule that would allow the House to move toward passage of a health care reform bill without a recorded vote on the Senate version.[More]

Meanwhile, the Constitution, that ever-evolving document in the socialist's feeble mind, states the following:

What the "Slaughter Solution" essentially means is an end run on the Constitution of the United States of America for the sake of Big Brotha's shameful legacy. The Chicago Way has infected Washington under the auspices of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

"No Fingers Left to Wag": Corrupt Democrats and Their Hypocrite Leadership Exposed



Democrats Mired in Swamp They Vowed to Drain
Thursday, 04 Mar 2010 06:35 PM

A rash of ethics lapses has given Democrats an election-year headache: how to convince skeptical voters that they're any cleaner than Republicans they accused of fostering a "culture of corruption" in 2006.


From the conduct of governors in Illinois and New York to backroom deals over President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, Democrats are drawing their own criticism when it comes to the ethics of public officials.


The party that pledged to "drain the swamp" if given control of Congress finds itself sinking in the muck nine months from Election Day, when every member of the House and 36 Senate seats will be chosen.


The sword of sanctimony cuts both ways, warns a Republican felled by his own scandal in the weeks before the 2006 elections, as then-Rep. Nancy Pelosi led the campaign cry to end "the culture of corruption that has thrived under this Republican Congress."


"If you claim that you are going to hold a group accountable, as she professed, then it requires you to really be serious about that and not make excuses when members of their own party don't meet those same standards," former Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned weeks before the 2006 election because of allegations he pursued former House pages, told The Associated Press.
Anyone who believed Speaker of the House self-righteous pronouncements that she and the Democratic Party majority were going to change the Republican "culture of corruption" in Congress are either woefully or wilfully ignorant of the morally bankrupt recent history of the the socialist party itself.
While peddling a crusade against "The Culture of Corruption," Pelosi managed to secure "A Monopoly on Corruption" for her party and administration. From Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's tax evasion to Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd's sweet mortgage deal from Countrywide, corruption and wrongdoing have been the hallmark of Pelosi's tenure and Obama's presidency.
And now, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman, is forced to "temporarily" give up the chairmanship of the tax-writing arm of the United State Congress because he has cheated on his taxes. You can't make that up, folks.

Capitol Hill: The Best Little Whorehouse in Washington, D.C.


Capitol Hill's Top "Earners":

Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
: reportedly got $300 million in extra funding for Louisiana in exchange for her vote for Obamacare. When reporters first asked her whether she had voted with the Democratic leadership in exchange for $100 million dollars, she was eager to set the record straight: “It’s not $100 million, it’s $300 million, and I’m proud of it and will keep fighting for it." Landrieu is obviously beyond anything slightly resembling shame.

Christopher Dodd (D-CT): managed to extort $100 million in taxpayer money for hospitals in his home state, particularly the University of Connecticut
.

Ben Nelson (D-NE): got the federal government to use money from taxpayers of every other state in the nation to pick up Nebraska's Medicaid tab in perpetuity in exchange for his vote to cut off debate on the Democrat's abominable socialist health care "reform."

Fortunately, many are not taking this abuse of power lying down. Individuals and even some states are considering legal action based on the unconstitutionality of the "deals" Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has cut with his corrupt Democrat colleagues.

Harry Reid's "Bribes" to Senators Landrieu, Nelson for Their Healthcare Votes Are Unconstitutional

Senate Candidate Bill Parson Cites Article IV Sections 1 & 2 as Prohibiting Reid’s Payola Ploy

MOAPA, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Retired Marine and former energy industry Project Manager Bill Parson, a Constitutional Conservative candidate for the Republican nomination to remove Harry Reid from the U.S. Senate in 2010, has denounced Harry Reid’s “purchase” of the votes of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) as unconstitutional under Article IV, Sections 1 and 2 of the United States Constitution.

“By granting citizens of those two states special taxpayer-funded rights unavailable in Nevada and 47 other states, the Senate has violated the Constitution and broken faith with the American people.”

“Setting aside the question of blatant public bribery – using taxpayer funds – it is clear that the “deal” that bought Senator Ben Nelson’s vote, and the earlier deal that bought Senator Mary Landrieu’s vote, are unequivocally unconstitutional,” Parson said from his home in Moapa, Nevada. Article IV Section 1 states that the: ‘Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.’ Constitutional scholars report that this clause is routinely applied to both the laws of the states being honored by other states, as well as to Federal laws that are expected to be applied equally in all states.

“However,” Parson pointed out, “the more specific constitutional prohibition against these one-state bribes – which give the citizens of one state privileges and tax-funded benefits unavailable to other states, Article IV Section 2 – reads: ‘The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.’ This provision clearly states that benefits such as those bargained away in the middle of the night to buy Senator Nelson’s decisive 60th cloture vote, the one that broke the filibuster and paved the way to a power-grab that will take over one-sixth of the entire U.S. economy, was unconstitutional as well as potentially illegal.

7 State Attorneys General Probing Nebraska's Health Care

(Columbia, SC) -- Seven Republican state attorneys general are thinking of suing over U.S. Senator Ben Nelson's health care politicking to benefit his home state.

The Nebraska Democrat wrangled a deal in exchange for his vote to overhaul the nation's health care system.

The Democrats need all 60 votes to break a GOP filibuster, and Nelson held out for both stronger anti-abortion language and some cash for Nebraska.

A provision in the Senate version of the bill calls for the federal government to reimburse the Cornhusker state 100-percent of its Medicaid costs.

Other states get only 91-percent. [More]
