on the verge of voting for a bill the to proceed to a bill that no american has actually seen the language of. a bill that would affect one sixth of the economy and while senators and have seen maybe some draft language and we don t know about that, the american people haven t seen anything. it is a process that makes the senate s deliberation a sham. the idea that sorry. sorry. and senator john mccain also has not seen anything. there is a presumption tonight among a lot of the reports that he is coming back to washington that he is coming back to a support the leader mitch mcconnell which he does. but exactly a week ago senator mccain said regular order which you and i know means a a six to nine months to get any bill out hearings democrats and republicans involved, the governors involved, everything john mccain said we should be doing now would would be completely destroyed if he voted with mitch mcconnell tomorrow.
fellow republicans in the house demanding to see their bill to repeal and replace the affordable care act. the kentucky senator believes house republicans are deliberately keeping the measure under lock and key. we get more this morning from cnn s phil mattingly on capitol hill. reporter: dave and christine, just the week before house republicans are planning to launch their legislative effort to finally repeal and replace the affordable care act, something they ve been campaigning on for years and years, the whole process devolved into a game of hide and seek. seriously. so, senator rand paul who is very opposed to what republican house leadership wants to do discovered you members of one of the house committees considering this bill were going to meet behind closed doors to review draft language. he decided he wanted to review it as well. he s not on the kmie, he s not even from the chamber. that didn t stop him. here s what he had to say. when i came here, i introduced a bill ca
