"When we last saw New York Democratic Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, she had succesfully buried an outrageous provision in an Intelligence Appropriations Bill coming out of her committee. A few weeks ago, she had OK’d a clause that would have allowed the prosecution of CIA agents involved in using enhanced interrogation techniques on al Qaeda terrorists. Even some of her fellow Democrats saw the insanity of what she tried to do and worked with Republicans to have the provision removed.
Now Ms. Slaughter is up to new antics. As head of the House Rules Committee, she’s come up with one doozy of a rule to get health care through: she’s suggesting that the House simply “deem” acceptance of the Senate bill. That way, no House Democrats actually have to vote on it! Problem solved! Yay!"
