President Barack Obama held a second, less-publicized celebration for the healthcare bill at the Department of the Interior. During his remarks, he repeatedly used the phrase "law of the land," a term the hosts identify as a linguistic meme. This phrasing is viewed as a psychological effort to frame the legislation as having the same permanent, supreme status as the U.S. Constitution.

The phrase "law of the land" has become a recurring meme used by officials like Timmy Geithner and David Axelrod to shut down debate on topics like the Federal Reserve and abortion funding. While the phrase originates from the Magna Carta and refers to due process, the hosts argue it is currently being used as a "shut up slave" tactic to enforce compliance with controversial policies.
