Understood. But the way the bill is written, it will take a two-thrids majority to repeal it. They will pass it calling it a procedural change (60 votes to invoke cloture) and when anyone tries to repeal it, they will call it a rule change requiring two thirds vote.

The Rats call it a Senate procedural change at the same time and still make it a general law that effects the rest of the country. It cannot be both making it another unconstitutional clause.

The rats probably have enough votes to change the rules (the so-called nuclear option that both sides are fearful of exercising), but they would need to do that before this is voted on. The Republicans need to continue objecting at every opportunity. This whole thing is unconstitutional and stinks to high heaven!! It’s tyranny!!

Resist tyranny!!
