I agree. They're gutless, but maybe one of them will begin growing a pair.

At least one Republican had a spine. Rep. Patrick T. McHenry taunted the Dems on the floor by asking on the floor if Samoa would be excluded from the stem cell bill also.

I'd rather they include an amendment which exempts any state which includes employers that are based in any representative's home district. "Just to be fair", they should say, if one employer gets the treatment, all should get the same treatment.

That of course would exempt the entire 50 states, and it would also be the RIGHT thing to do, whereas arguing that American Samoa should be subject to the minimum wage is the WRONG thing to do.
