It's not uncommon for a Senator to approve a limit on debate (vote AYE on cloture), while expressing opposition to the underlying bill. Specter does that OFTEN.
I'm wary of the exact nature of the so-called "opposition" that these three weasels intend to offer, should the bill deviate from what they wrote.
Same here, my friend. Good to see you.
This time, I thought they were combining the cloture vote (at least 60) and the "real" vote (simple majority) into a single vote. But you are right, they are clearly not trustworthy. For example, they could claim that the changes made in conference are "not that bad."
When it comes to opposition on matters this grave, never bring a RINO to a Tiananmen Tank fight.
We need these sworn public servants to lie down in front of that tank ideologically, just like our brave sworn troops throw themselves on enemy grenades to save the lives of the others and defend their homeland. It is the same principle.
And We The People must do the same at the grassroots.
