Democrats have already found plenty to attack in the House-passed reconciliation bill. But they also think they found an attack in how it passed.
The chaotic process for getting President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” over the finish line included all-night markups from the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees last week; a late-night markup in the Budget Committee on Sunday; and a marathon hearing in the Rules Committee that started at 1 a.m. on Wednesday.
Notably, the Rules hearing — to consider which amendments members would allow on the floor for the reconciliation bill — took place before Republicans even had a final version of the legislation.
