Instead, under “martial law,” the Leadership can file legislation with tens or hundreds of pages of fine print and move immediately to debate and votes on it, before Members of Congress, the media, or the public have an opportunity to understand fully what provisions have been altered or inserted into the legislation behind closed doors. This is the procedure that the Leadership intends to use to muscle through important bills in the next two days. - See more at: [link to burgess.house.gov] Not sure why Congress would have "martial law" verbiage used to "muscle through important bills" but per these webpages sounds legit. |
