I'm not sure the Republicans in Congress expected things to go this far. I think they expected to get some publicity that would allow the bill to die quietly in conference committee.

Instead, the Democrats call that bluff by showing how dedicated they are to legislation that "feels good" instead of doing the right thing. As if any further proof were needed that these people are concerned only with consolidating and expanding their own power. Hugo and Fidel must be proud.

82 Republicans (40% of the GOP caucus) voted for the bill. It goes to show you that nearly half of the GOP in the House are socialists just like the Dems.
