Mitch McConnells Health Care Misery
For a good laugh, or rather cry, zip backward to the beginning of 2014, when Democrats still had control of the Senate, and listen to Mitch McConnells lamentations about the way they were doing business.
Major legislation is now routinely drafted not in committee but in the majority leaders conference room, he declaimed on the Senate floor. Bills should go through committee. He pledged that if Republicans were fortunate enough to gain the majority next year, they would.
In a speech a few months later at the American Enterprise Institute, he said, The greatest way to ensure stability in our laws is to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate in some way in the passage. He railed about the lack of transparency from Democrats and the damage theyd done to the spirit of comity and respect that the public has every right to expect from their leaders.
If Republicans were fortunate enough to reclaim the majority in November, I assure you, my friends, all of this would change, he vowed anew.
