Forcing the bill to be read is absurd, but needing the VP vote simply to get Biden's first major piece of legislation to the floor is a very bad omen for the next two years. https://t.co/3Ock1XjWEd

| #7 Saying Covid for this bill is more akin to putting Peoples' Democratic Republic in front of a country. |

| #6 We need a rule requiring whoever inserted the pork to have their name publicly attached for ridicule and shame (if they can feel any) thats giving them an awful lot of credit |

| #5 The purpose of the Senate has from the beginning been to prevent emotional claptrap from becoming law, or at least reduce the amount of it. Hopefully that’ll happen this time. |

| #4 And it will pass the same way - with the VPs tie-breaking vote. |

| #2 This bill is pure Dem pork. Something like 9% is for COVID relief. Glad Sen. Johnson is forcing the reading of the bill. |

| #1 Apparently, Ron Johnson is forcing the bill to be read on the senate floor - all 600+ pages, because most don't/can't read the legislation before them. |
