Article 1 Section 7 states "All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
If Bachmann feels the Constitution is being violated then she should bring a legal challenge if the bill gets passed.
Bachmann supports teaching religious doctrine in public schools and opposes equal protection under the law for same-sex couples as well as opposing the right to due process and trial by jury for the hundreds of people detained by the government based on suspicion of terrorism. In other words she has little actual concern for or perhaps even understanding of the Constitution.
She may have a valid point here and good for her I suppose, but posing as though she's against any bills or laws that are unconstitutional is just that: posing.
well well, you mean to tell us the Democrats-Progressives-Commies tried to pull a fast one on the American people.
tsk tsk

Due process for non-citizen enemies of the state? Where is that guarentee in the Constitution? Is it also a Constitutional Guarentee that people that have never been to the USA and have no interest in ever coming to the USA who are in a legal process in a different country working under the laws of a different country and with the legal system of that country that they be accorded due process in the courts of the USA?
If that's the case, we have some invading to do.
Can you provide links to the actual quotes that say EXACTLY what you claim she has said?

Hey i just think it's refreshing to see a politician who still actually discusses the Constitution. I'll take what i can get at this point.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;
“The decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City and give him all the benefits and perks reserved for American citizens is a slap in the face of the 9/11 victim’s families, the American people, and the men and women who risk their lives to defend our liberties each and every day,” said Bachmann in a statement released after the press conference.
Curiously, many of those protesting the accused terrorists’ trial in federal court repeatedly refer to a federal court trial and its attendant due process rights as being “reserved for U.S. citizens.” At a rally last weekend in New York City, for example, protesters and speakers repeatedly objected that the 9/11 defendants were being given “the same rights as U.S. citizens.”
In fact, the “right” to be prosecuted in a U.S. federal court has never been “reserved” for U.S. citizens at all. It’s historically been a “right” accorded to anyone who commits a crime on U.S. soil. Thus everyone from a U.S.-born citizen to an illegal alien who commits a federal crime in the United States gets tried in federal court. Although the government has just recently created special military commissions to try some crimes against U.S. military targets abroad, we don’t normally create new courts or legal systems to try non-citizens who commit mass murder, mail fraud, or any other crimes that might land them in federal court.
“If President Obama admits that we are a nation at war, then we should act like one,” continued Bachmann in her statement. “Justice for the 9/11 attackers should be swift and conclusive, something that won’t be done when KSM exploits the abundant appeals and legal loopholes he has been inexplicably awarded as a foreign combatant,” said Bachmann.
