    • Are you saying that Article 1, Section 7 isn't Constitutionally defensible?

      • I think it is. That's the process I believe that I reference.

        • The House is doing its job, and funding the government where it has the votes to pass something. The Senate is stalling, and that's Harry 'the Cadaver' Reid's pleasure.
          It's politics. It sucks. If there's a lesson to draw, it's that this river of lies (ObamaCare) represents a bridge too far for federal tasking.

            I'm trying to keep track.. Can you remind me again what makes ObamaCare any worse than prohibition? No, not the constitutional one from the 20s, I mean the illegal one that puts well over a million people through the ringer every year, kills over 10,000, and destroys hundreds of thousands of families.

After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.
              Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
              Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

              . . .with that vast legistlative/regulatory zombie gift that wouldn't quit giving, even if we poured all the ammunition sold in the U.S. in the last 5 years into it. (And don't make me get out the hyperbole.)
