If the various reports I've read are accurate, lobbyists got copies of the stimulus bill before the House Repub leadership yesterday; in addition, we have Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) saying that not one senator has read the bill in its entirety, along with Minority leader John Boehner (R-OH) saying the same thing today on the House floor.
This against President Obama's campaign promise to post all 'non-emergency' bills on the Web for 5 days before he'd sign it.
The House Democratic leadership promised that the bill would be posted online for 48 hours before a vote.
Change.
Update: On Chris Matthews’ MSNBC show Hardball, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) just called the stimulus bill “the most transparent piece of legislation in American history.”
Interesting.
Update II: With David Schuster on MSNBC, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) called the stimulus bill "the most vetted bill in history," and 'the most transparent piece of legislation in history.'
It looks like the talking points have been passed around...
