File this one under: “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”
Actually, this is how the Senate is supposed to work, and it’s how it did work for most of the history of the US until Dingy Harry took over. Allowing amendments to bills was standard practice. Amendments must be subject to a separate Senate vote before they are incorporated into the legislation under debate, so it’s not automatic that any Dem amendments would be incorporated into the legislation. What Dingy Harry did was stop any amendments from even being proposed, debated, and voted upon. I may be wrong, but I believe that is unprecedented in the history of the Senate.
He’ll get his shot at it.
Stupid Democrats want to keep the pipeline oil in the U.S. by forbidding the people who own the oil from shipping it overseas. The oil will fill a demand somewhere in the country, and other oil will be shipped overseas. What did they accomplish? Besides, once the oil is in tanks all over the Gulf Coast, who’s going to track it?
