Yes, they do it in broad daylight. But they are masters at the deceit of “show votes,” especially on the Senate votes that require a vote on Cloture.
They all too often will vote to “bring the vote to the floor” (when they have a pre-cloture chance of stopping the legislation or making a media stink about it), and then perfunctorily voting in the floor vote against it. They then go home and say they “voted against it.”
I maintain they ARE duplicitous bastards. My two Georgia Senators are expert at it.
Thanks for the explanation. That is indeed duplicitous, and I know that kind of thing goes on all the time on many issues.
I was just pointing out the new trend of being lawless and in your face, which is a bit new, I think. I know I’ve never seen it before.
