Constitutional Crisis : Watch or Fight?

Never before has a congress demonstrated such blatant disregard and contempt for our Constitution.
From House and Senate Cloakroom at Heritage Foundation:
It’s crunch time on health care. The Budget Committee will meet Monday to start marking up a shell of a Reconciliation Bill. The Rules Committee will then meet as early as Wednesday to hollow out whatever the Budget Committee passed and then insert a new bill from Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) office. The Majority is still planning to use the “Slaughter Rule” that would allow the House to pass the Senate health care bill without voting on it.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) is preparing to pass the health care overhaul through the House of Representatives without a vote, as was originally reported by the National Journal's Congress Daily. Mark Tapscott observes that such a maneuver would be the penultimate refutation of the people's will.
In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but they would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself.
Thus, Slaughter is preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill "passed" once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes. Democrats would thereby avoid a direct vote on the health care bill while allowing it to become law!
From the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 7
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...
Mark Levin:
... this clause goes to the heart of this Republic.
This clause goes to the heart of how our representative body, that is Congress, makes laws. And so I want you to [observe] how particular the Framers were... They have to pass a Bill to present it to the President...
This is one of the most exacting clauses in the Constitution.
And, to the best of my knowledge, which extends over three decades, no Congress has previously tried to institute policies without actual statutes.
Here we have the President of the United States and Congressional leaders actually talking about the possibility of a brazen and open violation of one of the most fundamental aspects of our Constitution and Republic! How we actually make laws!
Let me be as clear as I know how. If this is done, this will create the greatest Constitutional crisis since the Civil War. It would be 100 times worse than Watergate.
...
This is a crucial lesson for those of you who... aren't sure what your beliefs are, or if you have any beliefs. Or aren't sure if you even care. We have an effort underway by the one of the most powerful chairmen in Congress, the woman who heads the Rules Committee, ...openly discussing gutting Congress. Gutting Congress.
And if this is done, this is about as close to martial law as you'll ever get... So Louise Slaughter, a Representative from New York, is discussing, in essence, martial law. Now I can tell you, if they pursue this process, and try to impose this kind of a law, without actually passing a statute, that I will be in a race -- with scores of others -- to the courthouse to stop this.
I can't think of a more blatant violation of the U.S. Constitution than this. And the liberal media has essentially ignored it!
...It's not only absurd on its face -- that these power-hungry ideologues, party-first-country-second types, would make the claim that the House voted on something it never voted on... that's not only absurd on its face, it's blatantly unconstitutional!
Here's the question: What are you going to do?
Are you going to watch it happen or go fight?
Will you mind your own business while this vile congress pisses on your Constitution? Or will you fight?

Breitbart Remembers Obama Promises
By Bubba on Jan 6, 2010 | In Corruption Culture, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Liberal Monsters | 1 feedback »
Breitbart has compiled a single video from 8 different instances in which Obama made the campaign promise that the Health Care debate would be televised via CSPAN, that all deliberation would be done in the open - no secret meetings, no closed doors.
The CSPAN lie was one part of Obama's so-called 'transparency' campaign hype. Making promises for others to fulfill, promises of which he never had any hope or intention of keeping. Promises that were nothing more than rhetoric.
52% of voters fell for it.

The words below are not my own. I stole them from When Plunder Becomes a Way of Life at Doug Ross Journal.
I reproduce Mr. Ross' words here because the truth of these words is too important to exist in only one website.
~~ Bubba
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. --Frederic Bastiat
Last week the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its national "under-employment" (or U-6) rate for October: it was 17.5%, a big jump from 17% in September and a major leap from the 10.6% figure of September 2008.
Unemployment keeps climbing, even though President and Congress spent more than $787 billion dollars in taxpayer funds for a stimulus package.
Since that time, neither the President nor Congress have spent an iota of effort analyzing the impact of the stimulus program.
And they've not taken a moment to consider alternatives that might help alleviate the economic pain felt by so many Americans.
The President and Congress continue to ignore the economy while they pursue their ideological agenda of truly massive government.
Anyone who has lost a job, can't find a job, is nervous about losing their job, or simply lives in an area decimated by job loss should be livid over a President and Congress that spend all of their time plotting a takeover of health care.
Even though the economy is the top concern for almost every American, the oligarchy in Washington is fixated on nationalizing health care and exacting carbon taxes on every sector of the economy.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) broke committee rules and slammed an energy-rationing bill through the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee last week without a single Republican present.
The bill would curtail America's ability to exploit its own natural resources to harvest energy and boost economic activity. Thus, despite the economic crisis, the government is turning its back on $1.7 trillion in tax revenue and tens of thousands of real jobs (i.e., non-government payroll).
Democrats are only concerned with their big-government agenda -- nationalizing the health care industry, carbon taxes and amnesty for illegal aliens -- and not worried a bit about American jobs. Each of their programs raises taxes and fees on job creators, which further harms the economy.
Both the health care and cap-and-trade bills translate to huge tax hikes for most Americans.
Frighteningly, even the 17.5% under-employment figure understates things. During the Clinton administration, the BLS began removing those 'too discouraged' to look for a job for more than a year. John Williams of Shadow Government Stats thinks the true unemployment rate would be 22.1 percent if everyone were included.
Meanwhile, Congress fiddles while the economy burns. As I said more than six months ago, this willful abandonment of Americans in economic distress is intentional.
As Rahm Emanuel told the New York Times after the 2008 election, "Rule 1 -- never allow a crisis to go to waste."
The President and Congress simply ignore high unemployment while plotting their next moves to bankrupt the country. They are violating the Constitution. They meet and maneuver and vote -- not in the tradition of this nation -- but of totalitarian regimes.
They vote late Saturday night, when the public isn't watching. Meeting behind closed doors -- one party and one party only. Changing the locks on the committee room doors to exclude the opposition party and prevent debate. Everything is done in secret until they drop a massive, 2,000-page bill on an unsuspecting public.
And that doesn't even include the regulations to implement the bill, which will be ten times longer! And it affects your life, your livelihood, your family. And you -- don't -- have -- access to it, or them.
Only the oligarchs, who laugh off high unemployment, get a say in how you will live. And they don't give a damn about anything but accruing more power and growing the size of government.

» Celebrating the End of American Independence
The American people are divided into three political blocs today.
Those who desire access to the earnings and assets of others and are using the weight and power of the federal government to rob their fellow Americans of freedom, liberty and hard earned prosperity.
Those who have spent a lifetime on the sidelines not knowing what to believe or who to trust, manipulated by a constant drumbeat in the leftist press, academia and Hollywood elite, trading their individual liberty and that of others for a so-called “greater communal good.”
Those who still believe in the founding principles and values of a Constitutional Republic, but have no representation in Washington DC, the press, academia or Hollywood, and have yet to find a viable means of restoring freedom without force.
» National Socialism III - The Enabling Act
Somewhere, cosseted deep in the Beltway, far from the prying eyes of honest working folk, those who hope to wrest the final bit of power away from the people and the constitution (that ancient scrap of paper which only impedes them on their march to absolute power), are preparing to repeal Article 22 of the US Constitution.
Pretty soon MoveOn.Org, Media Matters, and all the other Soros-Democrat front groups will begin beating their drums for its repeal because its part of that worthless US Constitution, which was, it is well known, written by white men who had no real understanding of life, liberty, or the pusuit of happiness, and paid no personal price for the production of the document.
There is one big difference between pre-Nazi Germany and current United States. When the Germans finally realized what was happening there was nothing they could do about it. You see ... they had no guns.
Store these facts in your head for the next time some libtard tries to use that excuse for Socialized Healthcare.
We’ve had experience with incompetent presidents and/or deceptive presidents before. But I submit that we’ve never before had a president with such malignant and radical designs who also was so deceptive in such a profound way.
diplomatic sources in New York reported that American officials are working behind the scenes to prevent new sanctions from being imposed against Iran.
Why would the Obama administration oppose using sanctions as a diplomatic and economic device to put pressure on the Iranian mullahs to reform?” To which I once more reply: look at who he is, look at who he’s always been. Tyranny’s where his heart is, to twist a venerable old phrase.
Throughout his misbegotten political career, he has never yet passed up a single chance — not one — to align himself closely with dictators, murderous kleptocrats, and goons, in opposition to freedom and democracy. He vilifies and undermines the security of the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, and encourages those who machine-gun school buses, launch rocket and mortar attacks against peaceful, noncombatant residential districts while hiding in hospitals or ambulances, and blow up innocent civilians in restaurants. He insults our free-world allies and sucks up to hideous oppressors at every turn. He threatens a nation in our hemisphere struggling to protect its constitutional government against a dimestore dictator’s thuggish ambitions, while refusing to meaningfully and forcefully engage one of the worst autocratic regimes in human history.
