If they are unduly rushed - like the impeachment - to meet a political timing goal - THAT is shoved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is shoved - It may be legal - it may be "just part of it" but it is still shoved. Anytime you have to take a back channel to get done what you want because you have opposition to it any other way - it is shoving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Most have enough effort put in, with an adequate amount of discussion and debate. When the media and the Senate and the House have a consensus on the fact that the bill is moving through too quickly, that would be shoved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Senate and House agree on that, then it can't move through, considering both the Senate and the House have to vote on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right - which is why they had to wait until no one was there to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
