The U.S. Senate voted 89-8 to approve legislation to avoid the fiscal cliff despite having only 3 minutes to read the 154-page bill and budget score.
Multiple Senate sources have confirmed to CNSNews.com that senators received the bill at approximately 1:36 AM on Jan. 1, 2013 – a mere three minutes before they voted to approve it at 1:39 AM.
The bill is 154-pages and includes several provisions that are unrelated to the fiscal cliff, including repealing a section of ObamaCare, extending the wind-energy tax credit, and a rum tax subsidy deal for Puerto Rican rum makers.

Countless departments and agencies that create laws without the congress or senate (EPA comes to mind as well as DHS and TSA).That are now arming themselves with hundreds of millions of rounds of hollow point ammunition that is solely for domestic use. (killing citizens)
This is why I feel that secession is our only hope for freedom and prosperity, unless our political leaders and citizens get their heads out of their a**es!!!!
