The Experts n.

Invoking "the experts" is a go-to move by The Swamp to dismiss a conservative proposal. The Swamp often offers this argument with no real evidence to back it up. Example: "I rise today to object to this proposal. It may have good intentions behind it, but I'm hearing from the experts that there are unintended policy implications if this bill were to pass."
