I believe that the proper process is to request a second on the 
amendment and then put it to a vote. If the amendment is viewed as 
unfriendly, it would be voted on separately, IIRC.

If you don't agree with the amendment, then vote against it. If it 
becomes part of the motion and you are still uncomfortable with it, then 
vote against the whole package or make a counter-motion.

Also, I'd note that tightening up the schedule by three business days is 
hardly "unseemly haste", although I do applaud the breadth of your 
rhetorical skills.
