In reply to the discussion: AOC Apologizes to Constituents for Iron Dome Vote, Cites Rush to Vote for Her Decision [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)32. This wasn't even rushed, though. Those who voted no or present had plenty of time to review...
...the bill. It was virtually the same thing that they voted on earlier in the week (when it was removed from the overlying funding bill), and even if it was "new", it was issued about 36 hours prior to the vote on the standalone bill. On top of that, it is ONE PAGE and only 406 words!
Here's the bill in it's entirety:
H.R.5323 - Iron Dome Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022
