I picked a hell of a day to somehow not start drinking.
Am I to assume the problem here was failure to clearly establish in written form what is easily discernible in list form?
1. 48 hours discussion
2. Pre-cloture vote?
3. Regular debate or Final Vote?
While I appreciate Ted's desire to fix this quickly and calling for a correction to a mistake, there are two glaring errors in the means by which you have gone about fixing this.
1. It is way too damn fast
2. And I hope you guys can read this, this vote is probably unconstitutional
I did raise concerns about constitutionality in discussing this, and we concluded it would be constitutional to hold a vote if there is an objection to suspension of the rules. The objection would immediately be voted on in a separate thread.
There is no upset in the balance between the executive and the legislative branch. Congress has the power to reject this motion, although we highly suggest simply voting for this bill for the sake of the integrity of our system. The status quo cannot continue and this is indeed an emergency situation.
