Bush “endoresed a plan.” Kyl and Graham “have proposed such an amendment.” This is more of the same. Promises, promises, if you’ll do what we want, and then down the road, nada. This PROPOSED amendment is going to be used to lure senators or give them cover to vote to bring the bill to the floor. Once they’ve gotten it to the floor, there is no way they can guarantee it will be in the final bill. Bait and switch at its finest.
And as Lott says, it can be washed out by the time it gets to the Rotunda in conference. No Problem.
And they can't figure out why we don't trust them. How dense is that??
