[Antonio the Sixth]

Are they really going to vote on a bill with handwritten annotations on it? Really?

Updated bill: (From politico, last one was from Bloomberg):

Makes me sad that this tax scam will be voted on and likely passed.

This is just more evidence of their illiteracy. At least they aren't drawing pictures.

[Maverick J-Mac]

Are they really going to vote on a bill with handwritten annotations on it? Really?

Is that allowed anymore?

reporters are tweeting that it's not uncommon to have handwritten notes on margins.

Wow, they're not even hiding it anymore.

[Matty]

This is a random question, but are senators allowed to bring objects into the senate chamber, like a noise machine that makes it hard to hear or could cause headaches for the older senators that would delay the vote?

Are senators allowed to throw food at other senators?

Did anyone know they were going to totally screw people who file as Head of Household? They kept only the tiniest of distinctions from single filers at the very bottom of the margins. Let's stick in the knife in single parents...

But how often is the handwriting on the margins intentionally hard to read?

I'm not sure it's quite this messy though.

Okay this is absurd. One page of the new #GOPTaxPlan is crossed out with an ex. Another page is just a line. Is that a crossout? Is this page part of the bill? WHY AM I ASKING THESE QUESTIONS HOURS BEFORE WE VOTE ON IT?? #GOPTaxScam

This is what a dying political party looks like

[Person Man]

This is going to either be a bitch in conference or immediately be taken to Court for vagueness.

So Toomey just put in an exemption that cuts taxes for university.

Not universities. University.

In particular, Hillsdale College in Michigan, which has strong ties to the DeVoses (Erik Prince went there...)

Toomey, is a corporate whore

[Sestak]

So the measure subtly snuck in by the GOP that would allow expecting parents to open 529s for unborn children has been Byrd'ed out.

[BudgieForce]

This is a bad look. This is what loosing majorities in both houses looks like.

Hillsdale College has ties to lots of Republicans. Quality school, but it is rather cultish.

Schumer is speaking and basically giving all of the Democrats' greivances (insane speed of process, handwriting, complete lack of bipartisanship, Hillsdale, GOP double standard on ACA "read the bill", Lobbyists knew what was in the bill before them, etc.)

Also complimenting Corker.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Schumer motions to adjourn.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

They should start all introducing motions to adjourn.
