![]() Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is accused of using legislative trickery to push through health-care reform. |
America's system of government based on the U.S. Constitution is
being overthrown through illegal legislative "trickery" Congress is
using to pass controversial health-care reform.
That's the conclusion of some on the political right who are
calling for the impeachment of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi along
with the defeat of the health legislation.
"This is the overthrow of the U.S. constitutional system,
orchestrated from the White House through the House of Representatives,
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid," said
radio host Rush Limbaugh today. "This is beyond rational
explanation and description. This makes Watergate look like Romper
Room."
At issue is the possibility that reforms pushed by President
Obama and other Democrats will be approved without ever actually having a
direct vote, but could be "deemed" to have been passed, then signed
into law by Obama. The process is called the "Slaughter
Strategy," named for Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., who chairs the
House Rules Committee.
Discussing
the need for this procedure, Pelosi
said: "I like it, because people don't have to vote on the Senate
bill."
Indeed, Democrats could actually vote for the rule, yet still
claim they're against the Senate bill.
