The concern I have with this stipulation is does it pave a path for Cruz to vote ‘yay’. If so, it would be a bad thing, as it potentially helps pass a bill that still has other unacceptable parts (ie, impenetrable southern border, anchor babies, etc). OTOH, if a “poison amendment” is found to kill the bill, that would be a good thing...
I think it’s a hill the bill amendment.
