“Put in this larger context, can you imagine being asked to cast a career-ending vote because the people in your district hate this bill? Yet you are following Speaker Pelosi's instructions to vote for it and defying the wishes of your constituents. Can you imagine doing it in the context where there is so little certainty as to the outcome because of this reconciliation process and the Byrd rule and the points of order we have talked about? I think that is clearly unconstitutional. Have you ever heard of a bill becoming law that wasn't passed by the House and the Senate? There have been legal scholars who have written this is clearly unconstitutional. I imagine there is going to be months, perhaps years, of litigation, possibly even going to the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging this bizarre 'Alice in Wonderland' procedure known as deeming the bill passed.”
