Can This Health Care Bill Be Repealed?

Well, it has not passed yet. That's a good thing.  The question has come up about a spot in the monster bill that says the bill cannot be repealed in the future. That is partly correct. There is a mention of it "it shall not be in order in the senate or the house of representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection".

The section is found in the description of the Independent Medicare Advisory Board on page 1,020. In order to insert this, this legislation would be changing the Senate rules - (that this bill cannot be repealed) and that requires a two thirds majority vote in the Senate. So, if they insert this "non repealable" clause, they will need a two thirds vote. Not gonna get it.

There is even a question about whether this non repeal notion is even constitutional. The purpose of Senate rules like this is to prevent a tyrannical majority from stamping out the rights of future Congresses or minorities. That question should not even be coming up. But it is. Isn't our president an expert on constitutional law? Then Sen. Obama, who taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor," most famously at a March 30, 2007 fundraiser when he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution." Maybe that gives him the insight on how to progressively destroy, dilute, or undermine it.

So much for Democrats looking out for the rights of the minority. Oops. In this case the minority is the Republican Party and no matter what the numbers say, they cannot be a minority because they are Republican.

I hate the double standards in politics. Get ready to repeal the bill. It must be repealed if it passes. It will be repealed if it passes.

Great video of Senator DeMint on that issue:

So Much For Transparency

The final details about the health care reform bill are now being worked out - in private. No cameras. No reporters. No Republicans. No Transparency.

Somewhere in the back of my mind this morning came the old quote "Men loved the darkness because their deeds were evil".

Why, I wonder, are the final negotiations going on in private? Because Obama and the Dems do not want the country to see who is getting the deals for their votes. They are not hammering out the details. They are bribing fence riding Senators and Congressmen for their vote on the bill. Obama's Chicago mob is more interested is passing something than doing what is right for the country.

That's why CSpan's letter went unanswered. That's why Pelosi is quibbling with the truth about being/not being transparent. Sure, the cameras were rolling when they were discussing the nuts and bolts of how the bill will work. She and her gang from the Patch, Terror Town, Boys Town, or Lakeview just don't want the public to know just how corrupt the process is.

Votes for Dollars. That's what it is all about.

Votes for Dollars.

Get ready to push for the repeal the bill movement.
