WE’RE HANGING FROM THE CLIFF — AND THE HASTERT RULE IS THE ROPE

Two news items should shock even Republicans into awareness of potential doom:

 

-The first, news reports that the “Gang of 8″ has reached agreement on the “path to citizenship” (Think, 20,000,000 new voters voting 71% Democrat, plus Orwellian biometric ID’s and “Brady Checks” for jobs).

 

-The second, an announcement by House Speaker John Boehner on a Sunday talk show that the House would “consider” any gun control approved by the Democratic Senate (whatever “consider” means).

 

The last-ditch solution to both of these Armageddon scenarios is the same: the Hastert Rule, which prevents House consideration of any bill not supported by a majority of the Republican caucus
