Bogus crap.

I'd love to know who started the rumor so I could repeatedly slap that person.

This, right here, is a good indication of its progeny:

"This means that the Finance Committee can pass this without the Senate voting on it at all."

Several years ago there was a rumored gun ban that would be "enacted" through the exact same mechanism. Anyone who understands, even the least little bit, the American governmental process knows that this is a crock of crap.

It looks like someone took the old pants-wetting, hysteria inducting message and "updated" it with a new pants-wetting, hysteria-inducing "threat."

It's false, it always has been false, and given the supposed passage mechanism, it always will be false. I don't see any reason for this thread to remain open.
