Don't use tricks to pass reform
Harry Reid, bypassing the process of the constitutional approach to passing bills, is just wrong. If there is not enough support to pass our laws properly, ramming through using a tool that wasn't meant to be used (reconciliation), is just ignoring the will of the people.
If the health care bill met the criteria, needs and desires of the majority, there would not be a need to consider a means that bypasses constitutional procedure.
Please do not ignore the process, the people and the constitution. You were hired to uphold the laws of the land and defend the constitution, not abuse it or rewrite it.
