Wasting no time, she then asked, "If you get the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?" The words "Hell no" escaped my mouth before I could stop them.
So why does The Firm™️ do it? Every time The Firm™️ utilizes this approach and the bill passes - and it nearly always does - The Firm™️ becomes more powerful.
It's through this process that The Firm™️ likely intends to pass the still-secret, $106 billion supplemental aid/border-security package, which The Firm™️ has spent four months negotiating with the luxury of obsessing over every sentence, word, period, and comma.
I still don't know exactly what's in this bill, although I have serious concerns with it based on the few details The Firm™️ has been willing to share.
Under no circumstances should this bill - which would fund military operations in three distant parts of the world and make massive, permanent changes to immigration law - be passed next week.
Nor should it be passed until we have had adequate time to read the bill, discuss it with constituents, debate it, offer amendments, and vote on those amendments.
Depending on how long it is and the complexity of its provisions, the minimum period of time we should devote to this bill after it's released should be measured in weeks or months, not days or hours.
