Is anyone else disturbed by the US government's rushed tabling of legislation.
I thought it was very disturbing that it was particular to this case, the wording apparently ensuring it would not be applied to anything else. It therefore comes across as a publicity stunt to shame Democrats who might have voted against it . . . . and certainly well removed from the normal government function to consider legislation based on application to all constituents.
