It's the part of the bill that releases hospitals from EMTALA requirements. But that doesn't matter any more. Because ...

The Republicans got all puffy and changed the House rules this session to read that no bill can be introduced without citing the "constitutional authority" to permit it's introduction (a bow to the Tea Party)

In committee, this bill was challenged Friday by a Democrat on point of order, as this "constitutional authority" wasn't listed on this Republican bill as the Republicans now require.

Apparently, there isn't one

So the bill has to be withdrawn until the Republicans can come up with something

BWAAAHAAAAAA Oh, you funny Republicans, you're gonna shoot yourselves in the back all by yourselves You guys are just not good at this whole "governing" thing.

Do you have a problem with the Constitution? Or just the "Tea Party?" Repubs? I'm happy they are at least acknowledging that there is, in fact, a Constitution that limits their ability to make or change Laws at whim. You think it's funny that it bit the Repubs, I'm amazed that a Dem realized it. Good for both of them. It's a good start when these Scam Artists have to admit they don't have the authority to do what they are trying to do. It will bite the Dems too, Riot! Be patient!
