one would be to read the whole bill in the senate? and other ways to slow this shit down? Seems like a great time to do it if we could, even though we're in minority. i'd like to see this kind of thing happen just to get under there skin!!!!

Harry Reid Crafted a similiar Rule for final passage of the ACA because of McConnell back stabbing on some other Legislation before the Senate. This was all baked into the cake back in July of 2016.
