Are they arguing that since they took the shell of the house bill that it’s somehow Constitutional? Or do they just not care because they can do whatever they want?
The first House bill was defeated.
Any subsequent bill, under our old Constitution, would have to originate in the House and then proceed to the Senate for amendment or approval.
The bill that was passed originated in the Senate, and then was voted on in the House.
That’s a blatant reversal of the legislative process outlined in Article I, Section 7.
