H.R. 3200 Sec. 246 reads:
Sec. 246. NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS.
Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

United Kingdom

In House of Commons of the United Kingdom, the following words have been deemed unparliamentary over time: blackguard, coward, git, guttersnipe, hooligan, ignoramus, liar, rat, swine, stoolpigeon, and traitor.[6] Apparently, the word shit is not unparliamentary language when used as a noun to refer to faeces[7] Furthermore, 'sod', 'slimy', 'wart', accusations of 'crooked deals' or insinuation of the use of banned substances by a member are also considered unparliamentary language (all attributable to Dennis Skinner).

Interesting. So there's a certain amount of restraint to be met when voicing dissent there. Typical that we could reach such a vocal point of disagreement but be so fucking low brow about it.

I'm sure a loophole could be discovered with the flick of the Presidential pen and a new executive order.

BUT

I wonder if we need more action like this directly to the president almost akin to the old parliament days when shout fests ensued. Not in an out of control manner to the point where nothing gets done but where ideas can be directly called out upon.

Its almost as if the president is the 'untouchable' in regards to direct confrontation by his legislative branch.

Although I will say that his 'liar' comment should have come while Obama talked about this healthcare bill not adding .01 to the deficit. I mean... please... nobody is that stupid.

*edit* Keith P added this as well and I agree.

doomsday DA has disappointed me.

South Carolina's elected officials are on a roll this year.

The way that whole thing went down (and continues to snowball) is classic.

That guy shot himself in the face Daffy Duck style.

Sure, hypothetically speaking, anything is possible. Like fake moon landings and little pot belly elephants that you can keep around as pets.

That would be this part...

'And while there remain some significant details to be ironed out'

Sorry... but he should have just left that out.

You cant be smug with your 'plan' and then drop that trolling line that could be open to vast interpretation.

Those with an agenda would've yanked that out ASAP. Maybe this is just a misstep erring for true candor. I believe he realizes that this thing isn't fixable by a few bandaids.

Truthiness (LOL), perhaps?

I have no doubt he knows its not a simple process.

Which should bring people back to the original point of all of this health care mess... TIME. ie. not rushing it through 'cause we can'.

'Significant details' are just that... SIGNIFICANT.

So what are they? How do the pertain to everything you have no been quoted as saying are the three fundamental parts of the bill?

What do we really have yet again (imo)? Another campaign style speech with not a lot of meat backing it up.
