It's kinda turned into a "by any means" game since passing legislation is such a bottleneck in their logjammed system. Democrats do megabills with amendments when they're in power too.
The Republicans in theory have a point, but in practice any standalone bill would stall, be shot down or lost, with the reasoning from Republicans likely being "we have more critical things to worry about". And yes, its also extremely hypocritical for the exact reason you said.
It's usually not this dramatic though. Absolute fealty to Trump is required from Republicans... We've never had a Congress this subservient, not that I can remember, hence the knots and justifications are getting twisty.
Interesting. Thanks.
