"Nobody really knows what that legislation looks like but they plan on voting for it anyway."
Passing a Shell of A Bill: Congress’ Secret Plan to Ram Through Health Care Reform
"Senate staffers, the true veterans, are cynical and truly difficult to shock simply because they’ve seen it all — personal and political implosions, outrages, bad behavior and the worst motivations.
But this, this shocked even the veterans.
What is this? I call it: Vaporbill.
As you may know, in the great dot com internet bubble, vaporware was software that was sold, but that did not exist yet.
Vaporbill is a bill that has no legislative language but that is brought up before the Senate and cloture is invoked on a 100% blank bill.
I am not kidding.
One of the most powerful Senate staffers briefed a group of us on it yesterday morning. It is the next logical step to the HELP Committee’s mark-up of a bill not yet written. Why not take a bill to the Senate floor that does not exist?
Just wait till the READ-THE-BILL first crowd gets a hold of Vaporbill."
Even the grizzled Senate Veterans Found this Amazing — Vaporbill
Are your elected representatives going to vote for a
blank bill? And
exactly who is going to be adding the legislative language to this 'vaporbill,' since we already know that bills are
not written by our elected representatives?
