The idiot Dems tried to jam the bill through under the House’s “fast track” rules. A “fast track” bill requires a 2/3 vote to pass, so the GOP has more than enough votes to block it.

Under the 2/3 rule. Now we will see how much pressure gets applied to the people who didn’t vote for it.

In other words, the rats are licking their wounds and made this a “throw-away” to criticize GOP later. That’s a good sign. They aren’t feeling particularly united right now. Time for some tough love.

Now the dems have their headline. Then again, it’s always been about politics...on both sides. So the dems may let them expired just so they can say “We told you so.”
