You know, they make a good point about there being no public notice required for a Committee of the Whole. Which means, when the Senate meets in its entirety without technically convening.

I mean, they don’t even have to meet in public.  God knows we’ve slapped them around for that before.

Why would public-meetings rules suddenly apply? Does “substantive legislation” have something to do with it?

Anyone?

Yes, I’m coming in late on this and didn’t hear the arguments, but I’m curious.

I’m sure the senators are well aware of all this and are prob’ly just trying to chub it. And get procedural things on the record for a challenge later.

BTW, anyone know who was present not voting on that last vote?
