Hmm - a bill is written in secret. No hearings are held on it. Minority rights are completely thrown overboard for the first time in the Senate’s history. The bill is completely rewritten one night, and a cloture motion to end all debate is rushed to the next day before anyone can read the 400 new pages. The amendment process is undermined to only allow amendments approved by the majority leader. Total debate time for all opposing senators was 10 minutes. Oh yeah, and the minority leader, this same great statesman McConnell, broke precedent by not voting with the majority of his party.
Do you really think we buy your line that the architects of this mess had good intentions and good will?

As bad as the bill contents were, the way it was debated (not) and the railroad job time line was simply unbelievable from the “most deliberative body in the world” .
Mark Twain was right about the only native criminal class being Congress.
Someone needs to thank the Heritage Foundation for getting this bill into our hands like they did.
