          I assume the appropriations and leadership staff have read it. That’s about it. And it will very likely be the law of the land in a matter of hours.

          I continue to believe that statutes that emerge from this chaos should be challenged as violations of Equal Protection Clause. They inevitably treat similarly situated people differently without any rational basis.

          If this 600 plus page bill ever gets to Trump's desk, how is it ever going to get signed when a 10 page memo is too lengthy for him to read?

          This is not the way a functioning democracy should work. The system seems a little broken if you're passing bills and lawmakers have no time to read it.
