Since the beginning of the healthcare debate the Conference of Catholic Bishops speaking through Rep. Bart Stupak have threatend to do all they can to kill the healthcare legislation if it does not contain an abortion amendment with language authored by the Catholic Bishops.
The Catholic Conference of Bishops through their official spokesman had made it clear on a number of ocassions that the abortion language in the senate bill was, in their words, “not acceptable”.
Nancy Pelosi rejected the demands of the so called “Stupak 12″ which consisted of 12 Democratic congressmen threatening to vote against the bill if it didnt contain the strict anti-abortion language, confident she could get the votes to pass the bill without them.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -
