In order to get Obamacare rahmed through into law, the United States House of Representatives under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi (D) San Francisco, is prepared to declare the United States Senate superfluous. No, I am not reading the National Enquirer, it is in the Washington Examiner.
The Examiner reports that House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is preparing a new rule that would allow Nancy’s House to declare it unnecessary to re-submit the Bill to the Senate for their vote. Under this provision, if voted Up in the House it would bypass the Senate and go directly to the President for signature.
We have gone from nuclear option to Slaughter Solution. Pelosi said she would do anything to get this Bill passed. Now we know that includes rendering the US Senate obsolete. If perchance the Slaughter Solution doesn’t do it, I dare not think what might be next on Pelosi’s anything list.
