Uh - oh: The Putsch Continues

Sebelius Open to Fast-Track Process for Health Bill - WSJ.com:
"WASHINGTON -- Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, President Barack Obama's nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services, indicated Tuesday she wouldn't take off the table a fast-track process for passing a health-overhaul bill despite Republicans' opposition to the tactic. Ms. Sebelius, testifying before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said she had spoken with members of Congress who support using the budget-reconciliation process to pass health legislation, which would allow a bill to pass in the Senate with only 51 votes rather than 60."
Yet another fundamental change to a massive portion of our economic system may be shoved down our throat without even any respect for the Senate rules. 1 senator will be able to decide the future of our health care system and 17% of our economy. Glad we elected this post-partisan, bi-partisan, centrist President.
