Thursday, the rightosphere lit up around the idea that Louise Slaughter hatched. Mark Levin articulated the evil she and the Dems resort to:

And do you want to know why? Because 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.

…It would be government by fiat… meaning there would be no law… the mere discussion by officials in this government is such a grotesque violation of the actual legislative function of Congress [that it] puts us… at the brink. At the brink.

This is why we conservatives revere the Constitution. This is why we stress the Constitution’s words have meaning and historical context and must be complied with. Because otherwise we have anarchy, which leads to tyranny.

Tyranny. A government run by tyrants. And that’s why Twitter is being lit up by outraged patriots naming all the ways the government is tyrannical.

Louise Slaughter and the Democrats desire to pass a bill that hasn’t been voted on and bypassing every normal way to create a new batch of laws, demonstrates what it means to be a Democrat these days.

There is much more at the Doug Ross Journal. I’ve heard some people say that process doesn’t matter. That people won’t care in the end HOW it happens, just whether it happens or not.

The problem with this hideous bill is that it’s revealed both a failed process and a failed policy. And that does matter to American voters.
