When you cast a vote for something before you realize what it does

But this is likely to backfire. Here's why: The Congressional Budget Office score of the bill is coming, anyway - as soon as next week. And it will land after an untold number of House Republicans have committed themselves to the bill Opinions newsletter Thought-provoking opinions and commentary, in your inbox daily. Sign up A Democratic leadership aide tells me that the CBO has confirmed to Dem leaders that the CBO score will be completed and delivered next week or the week after. This means moderate and vulnerable House Republicans who are already worried about explaining to their constituents why they voted for the bill which guts protections for the sick and rolls back coverage for millions of poor and working class people while delivering a huge tax cut to the rich - will have to justify it again, in light of a nonpartisan analysis spelling out the grisly details of what they really voted for To be sure, Republicans have their own stated reasons, if you can call them that, for rushing this vote. GOP leaders want to hold this vote before Republicans go on recess, which could sap momentum, and the White House has been putting extreme pressure on them to get this done Meanwhile, the justifications for the rushed vote coming from individual Republicans have rapidly devolved into low comedy. One GOP Congressman, asked how he knows what's in the bill without a CBO score, claimed: "I just know." Another, in a moment of accidental candor, said: "I would prefer to have it scored, but more than that I want it to pass." (Does this mean the former is a threat to the latter? Probably!) A third claimed that the rushed vote is no big deal, because the CBO already scored the last version of the bill, and the new one is "substantially similar
