#shorts Senator Lee said, “This monstrous spending bill clocks in at 4155 pages. It was released in the middle of the night and we’ve had it for only a few hours and now we’re being told congress needs to vote on and pass this thing on an expedited basis. Some are saying you know within the next 48 to 72 hours by doing that they’re acknowledging the fact that they’re treating what is fundamentally a legislative proposal I mean let’s be serious about this this is a handful like four or five people in congress wrote this they put it together they introduced it in the middle of the night early morning hours of of today and now they’re wanting to collapse all hearings all floor debates all discussions in earnest about this and say you just have to pass it because this is what the process is well the process is this way because time after time got enough members who agree to support these things without even having voted for it. Some of our colleagues must have magical powers that I can’t grasp or even understand because one of the reasons why this works is to think all 50 democrats agree in advance they’d support it and you’ve had between 10 and 20 republicans agreeing advance they would support it even though essentially none of them have seen this “
