This is so creepy, shameful, slimy and disgusting, it would be funny if I was sure they weren't going to get away with it. I know this "trick" has been used before and that's just as wrong because it completely violates the spirit of how things our supposed to work in our government. The funniest part is that everyone is up in arms about the recent Supreme Court decision allowing corporations to spend without limits on elections, but look at the result of of the previous policy...a Congress full of slimy pieces of crap!!

Democrats defended plans to push massive health care legislation through the House without a direct vote and Republicans assailed the strategy Tuesday, as both parties fenced ferociously over the health overhaul end game.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said that no final decision had been made on the complex parliamentary strategy, which would allow House Democrats to pass the Senate's health care legislation without voting on the bill itself. Instead House members, who dislike the Senate bill, would vote on a rule for debate that would deem the bill passed once a smaller package of fixes also had passed.
