A newly emerging Democratic plan to vote on health care reform without really voting on health care reform has critics riled up, accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies of resorting to legislative trickery to send a bill to President Obama's desk.
A newly emerging Democratic plan to vote on health care reform without really voting on health care reform has critics riled up, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her allies are accused of resorting to legislative trickery to send a bill to President Obama's desk.
Senate Democratic leaders had already drawn jeers from Republicans for a plan to try to pass a follow-up health bill with only 51 votes, as opposed to 60. Now Pelosi and Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the House Rules Committee, are cooking up a plan to pass the original health bill from the Senate side without forcing rank-and-file Democrats to technically go on record in support of it.

Justice John Paul Stevens says he will decide soon whether to retire now or later from Court
By Associated Press
9:28 PM EDT, March 15, 2010
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice John Paul Stevens, at 89 the Supreme Court's oldest member, says he will decide in the next month or so whether this term will be his last.
Stevens tells The New Yorker magazine that he definitely will retire in the next three years. His comments suggest that President Barack Obama, whom Stevens says he admires, will likely nominate his successor.
The leader of the court's liberals, Stevens is the second oldest justice in U.S. history and fourth longest-serving. He says that breaking those records doesn't interest him.
Republican President Gerald R. Ford nominated Stevens to the court in 1975. Stevens turns 90 in April.
The New Yorker's profile of Stevens appears in its March 22 issue.

Obama can only replace the liberal judge with another liberal. No loss.
BTW Stevens is the fool that wrote the decosion that says teh government can take your property away by eminent domain to give it to another private entity who promises to develope it for higher taxes.
I'd like to "DEEM" her butt right on outta there!
