The House does the Senate's bidding. We're hearing from sources on the Hill that tomorrow's House debate on S.256 will be 30 minutes long. Apparently that's how long it takes for the House to pass on the fates of hundreds of thousands of hard-working, underserved American families.

Even if one somehow believes that the bill has merit, it clearly isn't so deserving that 30 minutes will suffice. The truth is that the bill is so bad that the House leadership wants to shove it down Americans' throats as rapidly and with as little debate as possible. It's fundamentally anti-democratic.
