Because as I pointed out on another thread you have to vote for Cloture in order to have debate. If you don’t want to have the debate you just don’t even have cloture. Cloture gives the Republicans the ability to debate and show the public what kind of pork is in the bill. This is important because it establishes what the Democrats are trying to put across in the bill.
It’s a bait and switch
They needed GOP support to advance the bill.
GOP should have blocked it but with votes from Cornyn and McConnell et al, they have what they want
Cool, ncfool.
I said the same thing, in different phrasing, yesterday on a different thread.
And I said the way they do this ISN’T PRETTY.
But you DO get to see “WHAT IS IN THE BILL.”
Voting to advance the bill is voting to advance the bill.
It should have been rejected flatly.
Your name is fitting, you are fooled by Assistant Democrats.
So he wants to expose all the pork the Republicans have in the bill? /sar
That’s the most BS reasoning I have ever heard. They don’t have to have debate to know what is in the bill. They can read it and then go before the media if they want but to give away the only leverage one has is asinine.
“Cloture gives the Republicans the ability to debate and show the public what kind of pork is in the bill. This is important because it establishes what the Democrats are trying to put across in the bill.”
Your logic says to give them what they need and want, then excoriate them afterward as if you had nothing to do with it.
Stupid.
Filibuster keeps the bill from becoming law to begin with. If Cornyn's problem is deficit spending then he wouldn't have helped run up the national debt another $6 trillion - plus over the last four years.
