Not for nothing but when the Dems controlled the Senate they had a 72 hour rule for all members to be able to review new legislation before a floor vote was called

Something this important should not be subject to BS arbitrarily timelines. Slow your roll, adhere to regular order, have some hearings, reach across the aisle

I look at those damn handwritten notes in the margins, and then I think about the GOP complaining that the tax code is too complicated, and then I lololololol sob sob sob.

But McConnell could offer the senate bill as a replacement for the house bill at the end, and all the amendments passed in the vote-a-rama are useless, right? If I'm armchair wonking correctly, I *think* that none of the amendments presented under a resolution vote-a-rama are binding legislation. So if they're using reconciliation rules (they are), then the amendments are just kind of fodder for future attack ads.

Just catching up - so sad the tax bill passed the senate. Corker held out as a no...if just one more R had stood by their initial statements (Collins or Johnson). Ugh...this sucks.
I am, however, happy about @heartbot 's new job. Congrats lady!!! So happy for you!

I kept coming here to post last night and then getting sidelined by kids or husband or wine, but I wanted to say CONGRATS@heartbot! Yay for a new job and that great feeling, and yay for finishing nanowrimo! I would read a thing you've written. I'm sure it is enjoyable.
