Just another example of their incompetence. I’m not sure if it’s Black’s or Blackburn’s. Hey, should I keep a file listing it?

Is this an attempt at bipartisanship by republicans? Sign 'em onto a bill w/o their knowledge. Crafty.

Abortion bill? WTF? What about the economy? Jobs? Healthcare?
An abortion bill? Really? Is that truly a top fucking priority???

Thanks, American voters. Stellar job you did in electing these people, making them a majority in the House.

Adam Smith was upset that he accidentally became a sponsor of the bill. In a Wednesday floor speech, he objected to the rule that allows members to sign their colleagues onto bills without a signature.

Indeed. Seems like an absolutely dumb rule.

Accidently or purposely?

I get why he’s upset. He’s probably imagining some future opponent attacking him for it, and his denials looking like lies when someone digs up the bill with his name. He might be explaining this the rest of his political career.
