You can't do things in secret with a few members and expect everyone to vote for it, w/o knowing the consequences. Of course, he didn't want people to know the consequences, is one reason for that.

The Republicans were complaining about the secrecy of it all, not having any debates on it, or even lengthy discussions.

It's scary that that many said they'd vote FOR it, frankly.
