That's a nice dream. You do know that even with the scandal running around Congress, if the GOP and it's advisers think that the public isn't paying attention, the chances of a transaprent process in all of this are remarkably slim. The official notice for these auctions will be on the back page of smallest newspapers that can be found and they'll be held at midnight on the farthest green of the most exclusive country club in the country, or maybe on top of some desert plateau only accessible by private helicopter.
Maybe they'll just post it in the Skull and Bones Alumni newsletter.
