Well this was a tag on amendment to the Wyden bill

Something about it being illegal for the President to allow or sign off on a deal purchase of a foreign company

My daughter was talking to me and I didn't catch the whole thing

Did you catch that objection to waiving the quorum requirement?

We'll be able to sort this out tomorrow morning. Schumer is one of the bigger snakes in the Senate - he was pushing to have a vote on his amendment "on the spot."

There is a rather complex regulatory scheme in place now, including antitrust and investment disclosure requirements. Those are independent of CFIUS/Exon-Florio requirements.

It is an amendment aimed directly at the UAE...because it mentions no sale, lease, or even business can be done in America by any country that recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan before 2001....

NOT TOO subtle, eh?

Now, they are having dueling quorum calls, and objections to the quorum calls being visciated....LOL

This is turning into a real spitting match, could get fun!!
