"But I defy you to point to ANY piece of substantial legislation in history that has been done in this way."

Pretty much all of the legislation passed under Bush when the Republicans controlled Congress was much more overt than what you are complaining about.

"Without the people or the party not in power having had ANY input"

That was their choice. The Democrats tried repeatedly to get the Republicans on board. They would demand changes, get them, and still refuse to cooperate in any fashion. So it shouldn't be all that surprising that if someone refuses to negotiate that they wind up having little input. Despite this, they still wound up influencing much of the bill.
