[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, when I looked at the amendments filed for HR 1 several hours ago, there were about 4 dozen. Now, there are over 170 amendments - including the manager's amendment -  and the Democrats are mocking Republicans' claims there wasn't enough time to review the Bill. I'm assuming that means the amendments also from the language of those amendments.

WTF.[/quote]

Yeah, I remember Republicans whining about not being able to read the ACA bill and not knowing what was in it too, and yet the Republicans had over 200 amendments in it.  How in the hell can you amend a bill that you SUPPOSEDLY haven't seen and SUPPOSEDLY don't know what was in it.  It was a lie, they did read the bill, they saw draft after draft, they had caucus meetings and other things to talk about it, they had staffers spend countless hours reviewing it with a fine toothed comb.  When Republicans claimed they hadn't read it that could only mean one of two things:  a.) they were lying or b.) some actually hadn't read it even though their collleagues had, indicating their own gross incompetence and no matter if it was a.) or b.) neither one was acceptable[/quote]

The manager's amendment wasn't given to the ranking member of the committee of primary jurisdiction until one hour before the hearing. You are free to create your own narrative but, I don't have to buy it. I listened to the hearing. Did you? It is of major consequence to each and every voter in the country. The bill is opposed by the ACLU amongst other organizations. I have many, many opinions about several of the amendments being offered and am genuinely shocked it was scheduled for Rules Cmte before the other committees of jurisdiction got to hold hearings on it. Again, it makes MAJOR changes to our voting system.
