Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) hopes to have his bill written before midnight Tuesday and on the floor Wednesday — observing the letter but not the spirit of a three-day rule before legislation is considered. The Rules Committee, an arm of the speaker’s office and the only panel to inspect the bill, is expected to prevent amendments from both Democrats and Republicans. The White House hasn’t been much more open — Barack Obama promised the most transparent presidency in history, but his negotiations with Hill leaders remain behind closed doors, and the administration hasn’t left much of a paper trail either with its deficit proposals.
So he was technically complying with the 3 day rule, but will he even bother to do this with his re-write bill? Hotair thinks he may not even do that consider that would give critics time to tear his bill to shreds again.
