I don’t excuse the Senate for claiming they were “misled”. I point out that they do not read the security reports. During impeachment they did not read the reports of Bill Clinton’s serial rape and harassment offenses either.
Better to vote on “feelings” than boring pages and pages and pages when there are paiges to hit on.
Bob Dole thought it was a real hoot that he hadn’t read the NAFTA legislation when he voted for it. Up until that time I had been operating under the dilusion that those guys actually gave a damn.
This is what causes me grave concern when it comes to international agreements and governances. Our guys will sign off on anything they are told to.
