Cruz attempted to attach an amendment to defund Planned Parenthood to the Highway Bill on SundayPlanned Parenthood aside, I am totally against the act(s) of attaching amendments to bills just because they know the bill will be passed. In this case defunding PP attached to a highway funding bill. ReallY? What does abortions have to do with highways? They said it wasn't germane, and it's true.
We have been screwed WAY too many times by these assholes using this underhanded tactic. Rarely if ever has it been used to OUR advantage.
The Dims and the Rinos don't hesitate to attach "non-germane" amendments to a larger bill. McConnell sure attached an amendment to reinstate the Export/Import Bank to the Highway Bill. When someone mentions highways, isn't the next thing we think of always the Export/Import bank.
Play by rules your opponent doesn't follow and what will happen, time-after-time? And this separate bill to defund Planned Parenthood is another charade by McConnell and Associates to fool the general public because it has little chance of passing.
