Sessions probably wants to get the Dims on record as voting for the PASS THIS BILL bill. I look forward to this same tactic being used in 2013 to repeal ObamaCare.
From an article linked up thread.
“And just to clear up some confusion, what happened tonight was different than the so-called “nuclear option” to end filibusters. While triggering the “nuclear option” requires a Majority Leader to use the same sort of strategic maneuvers as Reid just did, tonight’s move had to do with the amendment process, not filibusters.”
