Question about republican tax-bill.

[Moral Compass]

3. This is why theyre in such a hurry

What we’re seeing is an incredible violation of the Senate’s rules. By making the bill a shifting target and the OMB not having a bill to rule on the Republicans are dancing around the rule that prohibits using reconciliation rules. That the Democrats (Schumer) aren’t screaming bloody murder about this tells me that while they won’t vote yes they are letting this proceed.

This whole process violates every norm of the legislative process. Bills like this have never been shoved through like this.

Yet the virtual silence from the Democratic leadership is deafening. Think for a moment what the Republicans would be doing if the Democrats were trying something like this. They’re still claiming that the ACA was hammered through just like this when it was pushed through via a normal process.

The game is rigged indeed.
