I wish someone would answer you. I just got back and I'm confused on why we're voting "Yea."

I'm not certain, but I believe this resolution allows for debate and a vote on the troop withdrawal resolution. The Dems don't want to vote on the troop withdrawal, so they're opposing it.

Because Democrats take Republicans defending themselves as personal attacks. They, of course, never make personal attacks, they just debate.

Is there water there? How about that structure that Richard C. Hoagland is always talking about with George Noory?

There are two votes, in fact. The first is a vote on a rule change so they can have the vote on the resolution. The second is the resolution itself.

We're not. We're voting on whether or not to vote...

They are essentially 'moving the previous question' - a vote to end debate.

Thanks. Then they vote on the resolution next?

ROFLLLL!!!


This is insane

This resolution is probably one of the simplest written things they have voted on all year and they need to vote TWICE within hours on just weather or not to vote on it....

Could you imagine trying to explain this to a child..... they would never trust you again...

So why are we agreeing to it then?

We are agreeing to end the debate and continue onto the Main vote of the resolution

It's standard procedure in congress
