Just when you think the Dems have exhausted their supply of lame ideas to circumvent the will of the voters, they have another brainstorm. Their latest has the House passing the Senate bill, then holding it hostage until the Senate fixes it:
Call it a ‘hold-plus-reconciliation’ strategy … The House could pass the Senate bill as is, then hold it in their chamber instead of sending it to the president so he could sign it into law. That bill, passed but not out of the House’s hands, would be the leverage to bring the Senate to the table.
Why would they do that? Well, as I have been saying for a week, the House Dems don’t trust their Senate colleagues any further than they can throw a printed hardcopy of their Obamacare bill:
‘We don’t trust the Senate to do anything they say they’re going to do,’ Rep. Anthony Weiner, New York Democrat, told The Daily Caller.
Would it actually work procedurally? Only God and the parliamentarian know the answer to that mystery. But it doesn’t really matter because Pelosi doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate bill.
The Lefty Dems hate the Senate bill because it has no public option and Bart Stupak’s anti-abortion caucus hates it because it provides federal funding for abortion. Can someone please bury this corpse? It’s starting to stink.
