The same Republicans who complained that Obama rammed the ACA through in the middle of the night...

...are now trying to ram their ACA-repeal through in the middle of the night.

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/3/1639761/-Ryan-counting-on-Trump-to-help-steamroll-House-maniacs-to-ram-through-Obamacare-repeal

At a closed-door meeting with Republicans on Thursday, Speaker Paul Ryan said he plans for the House to hold a vote on the leadership's Obamacare alternative in three weeks, sources in the room told POLITICO.

...

While Ryan says that everyone is working off the same piece of paper, including the Senate, Mitch McConnell doesn't necessarily agree. "The goal is for the administration, the House and the Senate to be in the same place," McConnell said Tuesday. "We're not there yet." That was Tuesday, but given the fiasco of the hidden, super-secret bill, it's unlikely the situation has changed.








------

There's this bill.
It will be voted on in 3 weeks.
Except nobody is allowed to read it in advance.
Rand Paul (R) and Tonko (D) were turned away by staffers when they tried to read the bill.

I saw Rand whining about the secret meetings on the TV.

They're gonna come up with nothing.

What a bunch of losers.

They really are the dog that caught the car. Now they don't want to be seen with it.
