This is the scariest thing about this spectacle! The Senators themselves did not know what was in this bill! And yet they intended to foist it on the American people and cause it to become U.S. law!
At best this is the ultimate irresponsibility!
At worst it is the ultimate treachery!
Every one of the Senators responsible for this should be removed from office!
Not only is this irresponsible, it tells me that those people don't take their jobs seriously. It's like a game to them. Especially the ones who have been there many, many terms. I'm fed up with that attitude.
“Blustering senators who claimed to have drafted this thing had to be told what was in it by critics who’d actually taken the trouble to look at it.”
I was astounded that the full bill wasn’t available to the Senators and that they hadn’t even read it. I told Burr’s office my grandfather’s advice was NEVER buy a pig in a poke, which was what this clearly was.
