At this rate, the majority is well on its way to becoming
the most closed Congress in history. Regular order seems to be a thing of the past under this leadership,
with bills coming to the House floor, as these two are, for a vote
without even going through the committee process. The immigration bills
we considered this week didn't even go through regular order. The
disastrous healthcare repeal bill, which would impact one-sixth of the
Nation's economy, didn't get a single hearing, and hardly anybody saw
it. No experts were ever called to discuss its impacts, and it was jammed
through the Chamber last month without even a score from the
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office outlining its costs or its
impacts.
