American Thinker Blog: Have you read the Climate Change Bill?

Frankly, we have not heard enough about the climate change legislation to be comfortable with the prospect of an impending vote and the commensurate belief that we are doing the right thing by passing this legislation. There deserves to be a full and fair debate on the issue, but as we have learned with health care reform, full and fair debates are not what the Obama Administration and its allies in Congress want to have over legislation that they care about. The Administration and Congressional Democrats worry too much that a full and fair debate would expose the shortcomings in the legislation that they advocate, thus dooming it to failure.

I am sure that this is a great way to run a political machine. But as always, it is worth noting that it is a really bad way to make policy.
