That's precedent for letting the budget and any other piece of legislation being written under the cloak of lawyer-client privilege, off-site and out of the public view until a quick vote.

That's how an oligarchy operates, not a democracy.

While we're at the Capitol chanting, "Whose house? OUR HOUSE!" the GOP has moved all household goods to their lawyer's office.
