61. You've dug up something they had buried, Billy Burnett! My God. The VOTE WENT AGAINST IT,
but some scum put it back in, in committee.

Lincoln Diaz-Balart has done this same thing to Cuba travel ban legislation multiple times after George W. Bush stole the Presidency. It was seen as especially diabolical, as the vote to remove the travel ban clearly reflected the wishes of the large majority of the American people, and their own Congress voted to remove it, several times.

It was seen as a real coup in that it spared George W. Bush the public exposure having to veto any bills containing that travel ban removal, and then have to be open to anger from the American public.

This Title III thing is ASTOUNDING. Clearly, it's not commonly known.

I want to find out more about this when I get enough time. I would dearly love to find out from my Congressman who is on the Congressional Working Committee on Cuba what the hell happened.

This IS big, and it's damned ugly, isn't it?

Spectacular catch, Billy Burnett. Swear words!
