Could we include in your legislation the idea that whenever somebody wants to pass a bill by unanimous consent, they have to come to the floor and say: I, Senator Jim DeMint, want to pass this bill, a bill I have not read, which has not been online for 3 days, which has no score from the CBO, and I desire to pass this bill with no debate and no rollcall vote? If we would do that as individuals, I will be glad to give up my right to any secret hold.
Senator DeMint is discussing the process of passing bills by unanimous consent.

Common sense prevailed today and that’s great news for Oregonians who shouldn’t have to worry about getting slammed with a huge tax hit on top of losing their home to wildfire.
There are other examples of how Mr. Clayton is willing to say anything in defense of Donald Trump’s corruption and abuses.
When you lose your home in a wildfire, the last thing you should be worried about is being hit by a massive tax bill.
Taxpayers cannot keep writing blank checks for a Department of Defense that repeatedly fails to account for trillions of dollars in assets.
