Saturday Night House Ram Down

Weighing in at approximately 1200 unread pages, it seems as though the final straw for Boehner was the 300 plus page amendment incredibly submitted at 3:09 am the morning before the historic vote took place. Fortunately, the univocal outrage over this subterfuge found voice in the gentleman from Ohio following the narrow passage of the bill. Boehner used the opportunity afforded to the Minority Leader of the House to express an extended remonstrance on behalf of not just his party, but the jilted American public, who may soon find themselves yoked under this uniquely Californian quagmire.
