Mark Levin poised to file lawsuit against federal health care bill

Mark Levin has made it clear that if the House uses the "Slaughter Rule" to advance the Senate bill, he and Landmark Legal Foundation will bring a federal lawsuit in the District of Columbia challenging its constitutionally.

The Landmark Legal Foundation's press release:
Landmark Legal Foundation to File Suit to Stop President’s Health Plan if ‘Slaughter Rule’ is Used

(LEESBURG, VA, MARCH 17, 2010)…Mark R. Levin, president of Landmark Legal Foundation, today issued a warning to the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives about the possible use of the so-called “deem and pass,” “self-executing,” or “Slaughter Rule” to enact H.R. 3590, the legislative version of President Obama’s healthcare proposal that has been previously approved by the Senate. If this tactic is employed, Landmark will immediately sue the President, Attorney General Eric Holder and other relevant cabinet members to prevent them from instituting this unconstitutional contrivance.

“Landmark has already prepared a lawsuit that will be filed in federal court the moment the House acts. Such a brazen violation of the core functions of Congress simply cannot be ignored. Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution is clear respecting the manner in which a bill becomes law. Members are required to vote on this bill, not claim they did when they didn’t. The Speaker of the House and her lieutenants are temporary custodians of congressional authority. They are not empowered to do permanent violence to our Constitution.”
With states like Virginia voting to stand up to the federal health care bill if it is passed, Americans are siding with the Constitution and the Founding Fathers.

This is the most corrupt Congress in American history. Barack Obama has his legacy already ... his "hope and change" appears to be the destruction of the American dream.
