Please enlighten me. Wasn’t this a vote to NOT vote on the bill, but to enact the Slaughterhouse rule this Sunday?
No. This was a preemptive proposal put up by the GOP to explicitly prevent the 'rats from using the "Slaughter solution". It never had a prayer of passing, but the point was to force the vote and spotlight the trick.
Even 'rats who won't be voting for the actual "Slaughter solution" rule don't like having the minority party dictate the rules.
