It’s already been said by Congressional leaders that the Bill will be available on the Internet Wire at least 24 hours before the House will be voting on it (I heard Rep. Frank say that on C-SPAN this morning)… great!

I just hope they don’t bury the substantial points of the Bill under a mountain of obscurely named Titles and Sections: I’ll consider that to be an intentional effort to discourage a popular understanding of what is without a doubt an unpopular trillion dollar American taxpayer burden (that not only could raise taxes across all income tax brackets, but could cause double digit inflation and cripple the Federal Budget for years to come): I’d say those possible consequences, however likely or not, require a popular understanding of the Bill in question, before it and it’s burden are levied on the American People.

Also, in addition to the relatively short 24 hours we’ll have to digest this Bill as much as we can, I believe there will have to be at least one suspension of House Rules to pass, before the House can vote on the thing… and those suspensions of House Rules take a two-thirds majority to pass: there seemed to me that while only a dozen or so Members chose to comment on the matter during one minute speeches this morning, those that did all sounded highly antagonistic tot the thing, and so I wonder just how easily if at all, any suspension of the Rules will pass… anyway, we will see what happens.

Again, thanks to Sunlight for all of your attention and work in this matter.

It is something exactly like this, that represents I think the highest and best use, of the Internet Wire (the People’s News Wire!)
