Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.

Now, nearly 20 First Amendment and pro-transparency organizations are pushing back. In a four-page open letter released Friday morning and addressed to McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), advocates for openness and press freedom castigated the GOP-led Senate’s efforts to minimize the media imprint of the impeachment proceedings.

The letter goes on to strike at McConnell’s much-criticized plans for secrecy with a plea for technological innovation instead of what are perceived as measures of a bygone era.




In the 225 years since the Senate opened public galleries, the arc of public access to its proceedings has bent towards openness, despite attempts by some to restrict the rights of the people to know what our representatives were doing on our behalf.

In fact, for six years after it first convened in 1789, the Senate was deliberately opaque. While the nation’s “greatest deliberative body” published a weekly journal with a list of votes and summary of activity, the public were unable to enter the chamber and view the proceedings.
