any healthcare bill MUST have a recorded vote

you are purposefully ignoring the wording and context, not that I can blame you. who wants to be proven wrong?

I'm sure it will also, and be immediately challenged in the courts.



why wasn't it?

I dont know except that it was clearly constitutional.

unfortunately it has been ruled constitutional...

Marshall Field & Co. v. Clark, 143 U.S. 649 (1892)
 
She, along with a few other Democratic representatives, filed an amicus brief.

that is not "challenging" something in court, you obviously are clueless on what amicus briefs are...the petitioner of the case is the one who challenges, amicus merely offers support.

you're welcome for your free educational lesson of the day
 
please elaborate, i'm interested to see how you distinguish the two scenarios, now and back then and the citizen case

in the original case, the contestation was about minor terms as the difference in bills. The courts accepted both bills because the end result was the same. They were accepted with enrolled endorsements, or actual recorded votes. If this bill is not voted on in the house, just 'deemed' passed, the courts will have to ignore the original case as precedent because there is no endorsed roll call and vote.

now, if the house actually has a recorded vote, don't bother challenging unless a good argument can be brought forward that the bill exceeds the powers of congress.
 
From a political and practical standpoint, at least, anything other than a record vote would be a disaster for the Dem party nationally. From the perspective of an individual congressman, it could help moderate Democrats obfuscate their vote. Or it could actually help the Republicans pin the bill on the whole Democratic party, hurting people who've been staunchly against it like Gene Taylor (although I doubt Taylor could lose in a million years).
