Secret Legislation Is So Un American. McDonnell Should Be Run Out Of The Country.

Why be civil and why fake being united when you have a GOP leader who is willing to pass secret legislation that will severely harm 24 million Americans. This kind of activity is exactly like what we see in North Korea or the old Soviet Union. There should be open revolt against McConnell or anyone who supports this premeditated murder.

The anger should be overwhelming. This stuff is complete unacceptable crap.

How can this be legal?? Refusing to let Democrats participate is not representative government. Is it possible for Laurence Tribe
or some legal firm file a law suit against Republican leadership to stop GOP secrecy & demand public hearings before going forward??

Once Turtle rams it through, the U.S. of A. is completely screwed, until and unless Democrats take back both houses.

the public doesn't like what they do. They certainly knew it ahead of 2016.

I think grandma will know when they dump her from her wheelchair into the hospital/nursinghome/doctor's office gutter.

And the press is now so enfuriated, they'll be covering every single grandma, live.
