The eventual vote, yes - that’s just normal Senate business. The meeting that may be problematic is the committee meeting, which is something that is outside of the normal course of Senate business; committee meetings are, I believe, specifically designated as public meetings that are covered by the act. Based on press reports (so take with a grain of salt), the the committee meeting was convened with two hours notice. That’s enough to satisfy the act if there was “good cause” not to give 24 hours notice, or if it was impossible/impractical to do so. It’ll be up to the courts to decide if that was the case here. I hope they do, but I’m not convinced.

WHAT IF upon the return of the fleabaggers they voted AGAIN on the full bill. What is to stop them doing this and in essence making the whole issue moot?
