Fight?
As in pro-wrestling?
Like where they talk a whole bunch of smack in front of the camera, then get in the ring and do a nice little show with all sorts of amazing acrobatics and flips and sling shotting off the ropes at each other, then afterwards they all go to the same bar and get drunk and go back to their hotel room and pass around the groupies?
That type of fight?
House battle with who?

What I want to know is: Will the contents of the bill be read and understood before it is voted on? Apparently, in the Senate, the answer was “no.” How about the House?
