Legal Foundation to File Immediate Constitutional Challenge

"Think they'll win?"

Hey folks,

They are not alone. MANY Legal groups all over the place, are sitting by, watching, waiting. If the Loons attempt to pass Obamacare, in any other way than a straight Up or Down Vote, they are ready to sue. Then you have those that are ready to challenge the Constitutionality of Obamacare itself.

Here is the Email of the Week.

Levin's Landmark Legal Foundation to File Immediate Constitutional Challenge If House Dems Try to Pass Health-Care Without Actually Voting on It Wednesday, March 17, 2010 By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor

(CNSNews.com) – Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin, who served as chief of staff in the Reagan Justice Department, said he plans to file an immediate lawsuit if House Democratic leaders try to use an unconstitutional manuever to pass the Senate health care bill without actually having to vote on it.



“I cannot predict if we would win or lose--this is not as simple as some would have you believe--but I want to put the marker down right now and make it clear to members of the House of Representatives who think the quickest way to pass this is to adopt a rule that assumes that they voted on an underlying bill when they didn’t--that is going to be challenged if they do it,” Levin said on his nationally syndicated radio show Tuesday evening.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) indicated on Monday that she might attempt to use a procedure -- dubbed “deem and pass” – to pass the measure without actually having lawmakers vote on it.

Essentially, instead of House members casting their votes on the Senate version of the health-care bill, the House would vote on a package of “fixes” made to those parts of the Senate bill to which House members object.

Under the House’s “self-executing rule” provision, if the lawmakers pass a rule that says passing the “fixes” is the same as passing the actual bill -- then the House would magically "deem" the health-care bill to be “passed.” The "rule" itself would be sponsored by the chairman of the House Rules Committtee, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.).

Levin, a former top attorney in the Justice Department during the Reagan administration who currently serves as president of the Landmark Legal Foundation, reiterated that “no one can predict the outcome,” and he said he was not going to tip his hand by revealing too much of the legal strategy behind the lawsuit.

“What I’m trying to do, though, is make it very clear to those Democrats who are on the fence, and who think that this somehow is going to protect them, that it won’t because we’re going to expose you,” Levin said.

Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution states: "Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively.”

House action could come by the end of the week.

Yeah now they are talking Sunday. I love this I idea. If you can not get through by calling 877-762-8762, or 202-224-3121, then send them over night, one page. VOTE NO! They are being inundated , their phone lines are jammed, and now they are going to be blanketed in one page notes from you. Vote No. I love it.

The sad thing is this though. As I told you before, they will try to pass this "By any means necessary." This is why people like Levin, people like the American Center for Law and Justice, and may others out there are ready and waiting.

Oh this is to funny. Did you catch AP - Democrats push toward Sunday vote on health care today. They have a picture of like 5, no, four people holding signs supporting Obamacare. {Laughing} They fifth is just a guy walking by. {Laughing, banging hand on desk} How many pictures do you think we will get tomorrow of the MASSIVE Rallies that WILL be in DC? This LAME Picture is, uh, I guess, meant to give you the illusion that people, a lot of people, WANT Obamacare. Just NOT the case. Sorry, even the most LIBERAL polls out there only show like 38 percent want it. And THAT is fudging the numbers upward.

But they are still going to attempt to pass this Socialistic Agenda that NO ONE WANTS. They do not care what you think. Will Levin and the others win? I do not know. In a SANE World, I would love to think so. But we have Loons in charge and running the show. This is why it will be FAR better to kill it, than it will be to deal with it after.
