GOP hoping to use same fast-track process they used w/ ACA on tax reform: McCain opposes this.....

Repugs did not do the regular order that Mccain for on ACA and look what happened. Now they are pushing a tax plan without Dem input.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is calling for a bipartisan approach to tax reform.

“We need to do it in a bipartisan fashion,” McCain said, according to Bloomberg. “I am committed, as I’ve said before, to a bipartisan approach, such as we’ve been doing in the Armed Services Committee for the last 53 years."

McCain made similar remarks during the Republican push to repeal ObamaCare.

Now, as many Republicans turn their sights to tax reform, GOP leaders are hoping to use the same fast-track process they tried to use on health care. That procedure requires only 51 votes in the Senate, as opposed to a filibuster-proof 60, allowing Republicans the opportunity to pass tax legislation without any Democratic support.
