Uniparty's corrupt approach to legislating:
- Spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy
- Aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications (good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives
- Lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours) before an arbitrary deadline, always with a contrived sense of urgency
- Forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider, and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.
