Welcome Back
I am remiss in mentioning that Bob Krumm has returned home and is blogging again. He asks an important question:
Is the bailout bill just passed in the Senate yesterday unconstitutional?
Article I, Section 7

I was always under the presumption, from my lessons around the 4th grade, that tax/revenue bills had to originate in the house before they could be presented to the Senate. This looks like, among other onerous things, a different kettle of stinky taxpayer funded fish that came to life from corpses sewn together in the Senate.

Does unconstitutional even matter when it comes to the Feds any more? I mean, if there is some problem somewhere, any legislative or executive body in the land is free to address it right?

Bill was passed as amendment to a bill already passed by House, so no problem there. Just “updating” something already started in the House.

What Erick said.
Ace explained that they didn’t add the pork to the bailout, they added the bailout to the pork.

Barak is a constitutional scholar, I’m sure he can explain the living-legality of it.

I’m sure they’d say that they passed a Senate ‘version’ of the already-submitted House bill.

“Is the bailout bill just passed in the Senate yesterday unconstitutional?”
When has that mattered in the past?
