The Obama administration knows that most of us cannot concentrate on more than one or two items at a time. That is why they are taking an approach that attacks across a wide front in the dismantling of the United States. The two I have been concerned with have been Obamacare and Global Warming. But, the administration is also going to try terrorists in New York and American courts with American rights. There are others, but I have a hard time keeping up with them all.
The frenzied rush is on to pass the Obamacare bill by Christmas. The vote to approve it is scheduled at 8 am on Christmas Eve. The other bill the Congress wants to pass before 2010 is the Cap and Tax bill. That is where they increase the cost of energy to combat a hoax. Then, when the hoax does not materialize they can claim that their Cap and Tax system was responsible for the hoax not happening.
The first vote is the Obamacare bill. After Harry Reid bribed Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska with an obviously unconstitutional use of our money, Senator Nelson caved and is now voting against the Constitution of the United States. Senator Nelson was just the last in a string of Democrats who were supposedly on the fence in whether they would vote for Obamacare or not. In my mind, there was little doubt that every Democrat would vote for the bill. The only doubt was how much it was going to cost us for those that could play poker better than Harry Reid. Since, almost every Senator there can play poker better than Harry Reid; it has cost us at least a half a billion dollars, most likely much more.
One good thing to come out of Senator Nelson’s sell out of America is that he has been exposed as pro-abortion. He had been telling everyone he was pro-life for years. He even had a voting record that was mostly pro-life. He had many pro-life groups fooled into supporting him in numerous campaigns and even up to his cave-in. He was surprised at the outcry over his cave-in. He thought that they would continue to support him even though he now supports federal funding for abortions. How could he be so stupid? I do not know if he is up for re-election in 2010 or 2012, but he will not be around after his next election day. There are a lot of people that felt betrayed by his actions in this Obamacare debacle.
There are reports that a number of lawyers are lining up to challenge this Obamacare monstrosity. The problem right now is that nobody knows what is in the bill, so nobody can start executing any plans of action. As soon as people find out what is in the bill, there will be people lining up to challenge it. That is great to hear. If you challenge it enough, something ought to be obviously unconstitutional. If one part of this monstrosity is unconstitutional, the entire thing is unconstitutional.
The Republicans are trying to have a meaningless vote on whether the Obamacare bill is constitutional. To get any Democrat to admit that the bill is unconstitutional will be difficult. That would require them to actually admit that the constitution means what it says. Since almost no Democrat believes that the constitution means what it says, they will not admit that the bill is unconstitutional. Also, the Senate is unlikely to admit that a bill they drafted would be unconstitutional. But, anyone with a 4th grade education will know that the bill is unconstitutional. Democrats are just living in denial about the bill’s constitutionality.
The fight is not over. That we are on the ropes is obvious. Even scheduling a final vote for passage is cause for alarm. The vote should never even be scheduled, if anyone in the Senate had any integrity. But, the vote is scheduled and every Senator must vote. Those that believe in the Constitution will vote, NO. Those that do not believe in the Constitution will vote, YES. That the bill will get more than 50 votes is a lead pipe cinch. The odds are that it will even get the 60 votes it will need for final passage. If that happens, the fight truly begins.
