On the House floor a few moments after 5:00 p.m. Friday, Florida Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings, discussing Republican protests over the handling of the Democrat’s national health care bill, said that “Extreme times require extreme measures to ensure that we pass a health care bill that America deserves.” As far as those extreme measures are concerned, the House Rules Committee will hold an “emergency meeting” at 10 a.m. Saturday to consider the health care measures. It will be open to the press and should be televised on C-Span.
