How does this not lessen the representation of people who live in states who don't have merabers of the super congress?
What are the limittations on what they can write and fasttrack?

It's total bullshit, but it's not unconstitutional.

It seems that as long as both houses with quorum vote on the bill, it doesn't matter how it is introduced, except that budget bills must "originate" in the house.

Ron Paul has it right again
 
“By denying merabers the ability to offer amendments and only allowing an up-or-down vote that will take place in the hectic time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this Commission essentially disenfranchises the vast majority of merabers from meaningfully participating in the debate over reducing spending and balancing the budget.

Yep. But it's an issue of rules and proceedings, and how those are conducted in a house is up to that house. They're fucking selling us out, but they're doing it by the rules.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) pulled no punches in making it plain that the Super Congress would have supreme authority. “The joint committee — there are no constraints,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “They can look at any program we have in government, any program. … It has the ability to look at everything.”


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) echoed Reid’s sentiment, asserting that the Super Congress was “not a commission, this is a powerful, joint committee.”
The Obama administration has already indicated that it will take the deciding vote as the de facto 13th meraber of the Super Congress. During his press briefing today, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that the government would work with the Super Congress to hike taxes in 2012 and beyond.
