Whos the Democrat who voted against it? What POSSIBLE motive could they have? JFC.
So a vote not to adjourn and a vote on whether to even take up the bill. Next, a vote on whether to accept the result of the vote to debate, then one to define what to debate means?

Instead they're driving Maserattis & Teslas and supporting the gluttonous Billionare Corporate Media everytime they grab their Celebrity spotlight with their pre-written script & pre-practiced camera poses.
They don't even know who the fk the American people are anymore.

(15,821 posts)There were 3 Dems voting no, now back to one. Procedures are too often clogged by arcane bits, small wonder that people don't like to watch.
At a time when our system of government has been violently challenged, we are increasingly in need of clarity as only half of "the hill" is interested in preserving the republic, the other half concerning itself with muddying the waters. We need to get past this. Fingers crossed.
eta -- now 2 Dems in the "nay" column

We can't pass bills so why not try passing court reform, and I'm talking about major court reform like splitting the 9th Circuit, adding USSC justices, or maybe even creating a constitutional court that deals strictly with issues that involve quick and necessary decisions related to running the country! If we had such a court under TFG we wouldn't be in this mess.
