There was a lot of time between the amendment phase and the vote. Not a few hours.

Not the way I remember it. It was only a couple of days that anyone had time to read it - in facet, NO one read it all. FOX had a speed reader on set trying to gist it and he could not come close. It was never taken to the people. IT was pushed through without a single vote from anyone representing half of the country.
