Can you name one piece of major, sweeping social legislation that has been enacted without the support of the public?

Can you name one piece of major, sweeping social legislation that has been enacted on a straight party-line vote in which the legislation was crafted in a room without ANY input from the opposition party, where the content of the legislation was not known to the Senate until hours before the first vote?

I know you try to be fair and honest in your remarks but this is just ridiculous. Huey P. Long would have LOVED the way the Ds did this.

I would like to know of a SINGLE INSTANCE in which the GOP behaved in this manner involving substantive legislation. I haven't seen it.
