Thank you to the Senate clerks

I understand they were up until 2AM doing their duty because of Johnson’s political stunt. A big patriot emoji to the clerks for getting through this bullshit quickly so Democrats can back to helping the country.

3. They're frightened, those Trump sucking GOP Congress people are.

Their media is as well and their donner class is getting pissed at them too. "How could you let those Democrats take over two branches of OUR bought and paid for (by us) Government. The GOP machine is in disarray and we need to make it worse for them somehow. If we're lucky and work at it we can splinter it

The biggest problem is enough of the state legislatures are controlled by the GOP that when redistricting happens
and the maps redrawn, they can gerrymander us right out of the House at a minimum unless HR 1 gets passed. If we can't get that done we'll be pretty much hamstrung and we can just kiss democracy bye bye.

4. If a mistake was made when reading the entire bill... could that be used against us?

If a page was missing, or if the reader mis-spoke, or skipped a paragraph in error... would such a mistake make it possible for the GOP to claim the bill should be nullified, vacated, revoked, repealed (or whatever). Is it enough to take it to the USSC and get some sort of "stay" to prevent it from being enacted?

Yeah... I'm just a worry-wart, I know. But I don't trust the GOP either.
