Wow. Just, wow.
Nothing should ever be kept secret from the American people, except for perhaps highly secret military operations, and even then I'm willing to be convinced that those should be public.
Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe this won't work out in our favor? That maybe instead of being sunshine and rainbows for the rest of us, we'll be screwed yet again like we have been for the last decade and more?
Keeping conservatives from weighing jn on it means we can't either, and funny enough, I don't trust that a bit. "Passage through Congress is where anyone can weigh in on it." Well yeah, kinda the point of having a Congress instead of a dictatorship. Somehow I don't think you would have liked this idea so much when Bush and the conservatives had power instead.
