It was about the Pelosi caucas going ballistic that they were expected to “deem and pass” this stinker, without giving them a chance to be seen ammending the bill to increase the death tax.
Now if the House Republicans were just made of the stuff to muster the same hollering bluster as the caucas libs against the dang thing, we could push this bummer over the cliff. Filibuster or something, or use procedural fire power to reverse chaos somehow. But be seen to DO SOMETHING besides voting FOR the thing.
