The so-called "Super Congress" that is about to be created with the debt ceiling vote will have powers far beyond just controlling the nation's purse strings -- its authority will extend to target the second amendment -- eviscerating normal protections that prevent unconstitutional legislation from being fast-tracked into law. As the Huffington Post reported last month, the debt deal that has already been passed by the House and faces the Senate tomorrow will create an unconstitutional "Super Congress" that will be comprised of six Republicans and six Democrats and granted "extraordinary new powers" to quickly force legislation through both chambers. Legislation decided on by the Super Congress would be immune from amendment and lawmakers would only be able to register an up or down vote, eliminating the ability to filibuster. The Speaker of the House would effectively lose the power to prevent unpopular bills from making it to the House floor. But far from just being a committee that would make recommendations concerning the debt ceiling, the body is now to be granted "even greater super powers, according to multiple news reports and congressional aides with knowledge of the plan," writes Michael McAuliff. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pulled no punches in making it plain that the Super Congress would have supreme authority. "The joint committee -- there are no constraints," Reid said on the Senate floor. "They can look at any program we have in government, any program. ... It has the ability to look at everything." That includes introducing laws to restrict the second amendment, states a Gun Owners of America bulletin, warning that the body would be "a super highway for gun control legislation". "Gun owner registration … bans on semi-automatic firearms … adoption of a UN gun control treaty -- all of these issues could very well be decided over the next 24 hours," states the GOA release. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) echoed Reid's sentiment, asserting that the Super Congress was "not a commission, this is a powerful, joint committee." The Obama administration has already indicated that it will take the deciding vote as the de facto 13th member of the Super Congress. During his press briefing today, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that the government would work with the Super Congress to hike taxes in 2012 and beyond. Barack Obama has already exercised his fetish for executive autonomy by launching the attack on Libya without Congressional approval, bypassing Congress and having the EPA declare carbon dioxide a pollutant, as well as the appointment of ten state governors directly selected by him who will work with the federal government to help advance the “synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States”. The administration's zeal to target the second amendment "under the radar," as Obama promised earlier this year, has also manifested itself in the form of ATF harassment of gun owners who purchase two or more firearms, despite the fact that the law to mandate such a policy failed to pass. The establishment of a "Super Congress" will completely demolish the credibility and the authority of the system of elected representatives. It represents another final nail in the coffin of the American Republic and its replacement with an executive dictatorship run by the political elite.

I think they are going to rescind Dole's Brady Bill and allow Americans to have all the AK-47s we want PLUS ensure ample ammo without any FBI checks. It is the only way to restore individual rights, liberties and freedoms.
I like the NNS (Neighborhood Nuclear Superiority) option.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Don't you think the new SuperCongress shall diminish the destruction of American rights, liberties and freedoms from that nasty old Congress? I do. That is why I vote!
Well if you've got a nuke sitting down at the rec center, it's more likely, especially if it's pointed at them.

I don't understand your position on this issue. Congress has created many methods to ensure our own national sanctity and security with about 30,000,000 government employees to watch over us right now; over course, this includes the local city/ county/state cops with FEDERAL SWAT TEAM TRAINING and UN SECURITY FORCES TRAINING IN AMERICA to help us all the time. Now, we are getting a SuperCongress! YEA! I think it is about time for the renewed basics of American liberty and freedoms. Don't you think the SuperCongress shall watch over our US Constitution? I do. I think they are going to hire another 30,000,000 employees to watch over our liberty and freedoms. It is a gift of Congress to recognize our rights, liberties and freedoms to help all of us out in America. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Super 6 'roach motel', eh? Totally Un Constitutional. And there will be no agreement. Which means Xmas Eve is going to be a very entertaining night in the Imperial City.

OE these "Czars"?? Growing goobermint is only about growing a built-in pro-fedgov voting constituency and "us vs. them" mentality.

Why am I NOT surprise that Lady McConnell would "echo" ANYTHING of Reid?? McConnell isn't a "leader" of anything except the lingerie dept. of the gay GOP dressing room. These bastards are creating one more layer of un-touchable, unaccountable fascist dictatorial power - much like the "Czars."

Yup. That way nobody is at fault that can be held accountable. It's all done by nameless and faceless bureaucrats.

Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine I'm on the pavement thinking about the government The man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off Look out kid, it's something you did God knows when, but you're doing it again You better duck down the alleyway, looking for a new friend The man in the coon-skip cap in the big pen wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten ... Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot Talking that the heat put, plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May, orders from the DA Look out kid, don't matter what you did Walk on your tiptoes, don't try No Doz Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows ... Get sick, get well, hang around an ink well Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is going to sell Try hard, get barred, get back, write Braille Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you failed Look out kid, you're going to get hit But users, cheaters, six-time losers hang around the theaters Girl by the whirlpool looking for a new fool Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters ... Ah, get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance Get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift Look out kid, they keep it all hid Better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals Don't want to be a bum, you better chew gum The pump don't work because the vandals took the handles *********************************************************************************************** Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues Lyrics Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
