Wow.

Ten minutes to say "thanks guys" for the historical record is just too much.

ps
At the same time that Committees are doing the work of crafting and developing legislation. Multi-tasking.

Its written in advanced, agreed upon in advance, read on the floor, no debate, then voted on.

So the people writing it in advance etc... what would they be doing otherwise, and how long does all the agreement process take?

I would guess a staff person wrote it. One party leader's staff calls the other party's staff person, they both agree on it and take it to their party caucus lunch . Someone reads it while they eat their Navy Bean Soup so every member can hear it and its a done deal and in the Congressional Record.

I'll leave that to historians of the future who rely on resolutions printed in the Congressional Record to get a sense of what happened in the past.

That is why political pukes don't understand. Leave them alone. They don't want recognition. They don't get or expect medals. They don't want to meet with Obama. Do any of you understand what the hell clandestine or secret actually means? This action is about to totally fuck these peoples careers and take them away from what they love to do.
