The point of bringing it up for debate is so that it can all be revealed. The two “vulnerable” Dems don’t want it discussed, and the GOP has other plans but I bet you will find that they do want the bill discussed and while they could get the usual liberal GOPers to vote for this without a problem, they were short votes because of the defection of those two Dems. I would suspect this is actually a strategy, as unusual as it is to put “strategy” and “GOP” into the same paragraph.
This means things will be brought out into the open. Write to your Senators. Rubio is not in favor of this bill, btw, but he was just willing to take the hit for forcing it out into public discussion.
The very same argument used for ACA. “hey, we are only voting to open debate. Oh, it passed? Whoops.”
Once everyone is done whooping and hollering, maybe your point can be discussed. First we’ve got to get past the “kill all the Rinos stuff.”
Anyway, thanks for the info, for now.
