I think it is incredibly funny that using a certain set of procedural rules is the "will of the people" and another set of procedural rules is somehow completely illegitimate.
As far as what the "public" wants, when you actually poll each provision in the current bill separately, most of them are overwhelmingly popular. But I guess it is easier to imply dishonesty in others than to actually check things for yourself...
