Obama Will Not Sign Bill Seen As Cover For Bank Foreclosures

Harry Reid cut a deal less than 48 hours after this bill was passed by voice vote with Mitch McConnell who wanted to prevent Obama making any recess appointments during the recess when Congress goes home to campaign and vote by keeping the senate unadjourned, in session pro forma. It was seen at the time as another of Reid's spineless moves, for why would he help McConnell block Obama? The number of 'gimmes' that Reid got in exchange was nominal. With this notary bill, we may have the explanation now for why Reid did it.

The senate defines everything that it does, and can choose to ignore itself or not. With this much negative attention focused on what looks to be legislation that Democrats and Republicans hoped would just sneak past everyone's notice, Democrats may choose to ignore that they were, legally, in session and that Obama's not signing it means it becomes law.



We shall see how they choose to deal with this.



It'll be especially interesting if in the near to intermediate future (sometime after this coming election but before the 2012 election) the bill is reintroduced and passed in a similarly sneaky way, and in the cover of darkness. That is how Obama's gotten many of his Bush-like policies through.



For this to have passed as it did, it took a whole lot of politicians making "innocent" mistakes, the statistically possibility of which lacks any credulity.
