It kinda reminded me of the passage of Obamakare - except Riot and the DEMS thought that was OK procedurally and legal.

Being in the majority has its perks.

What an absurd contention. Of course and beyond obviously the passage of that law was entirely legal and procedurally valid. Nobody has ever questioned that, not even the GOP.

That law was also available to the public on the internet for several days before the final vote. It wasn't passed with the Committee Chair outright refusing to give out copies of the law, nor was it passed secretly without proper notice.

You must be mouthing today's right-wing blogosphere meme whining about "reconciliation". Except reconciliation wasn't used to pass the majority of the PPACA. Try again.

It's kind of embarrassing, the pro-Walker talking points being handed out about this over the past couple days. They are simply inaccurate. It does prove how many don't pay any attention whatsoever to what happens in Washington, even for huge deals (like the PPACA)

Ror!!

Besides all the whinning and crying there is no way this vote will ever be considered illegal - no matter how much you or the Dems or Michael Moore or Jesse Jackass wish it to be so.

They need to change their chant to "It's all over...It's all over" !!

Now get back to work and do something productive like the rest of us.

We'll see. Your Republican Attorney General appears to be on the side of the open meetings law.

You mean like the death threats against Obama going up 400 times normal right after the election, and through the inauguration? Senate candidate Sharron Angle saying we should use our "second amendment remedies" if we don't like what our government is doing? Congresswoman Gabby Giffords being shot? Muslim-Kenyan-Communists are coming for YOU!?

Threats and violence are never right. Too bad that's become acceptable talk within the public sphere within the past couple of years.

So after the 400X threat never came to fruition, you're still trying to connect Sharon Angle and Gabby Giffords' being shot? Hanging by a thread now. LOL

BTW maybe your 'Muslim-Kenyan-Communist' can show the way and as his daughters grow up driving, dating and marrying who they want, clitorises' intact, with no fear of being killed by their father for dishonoring him? Now were talking Obama the leader.
