My biggest beef with this isn't that some Dems voted for it. It seems like I should criticize them because their policies are too conservative for me. But in reality, they have to politic and are constrained by same shitty rules as everybody else.
No, I'm more concerned with the idea that you can just tell a lie and have that be voted on in Congress. The fact that there are outright lies in the resolution, to me means that it shouldn't even be allowed to come to a vote.
Where was the senate parliamentarian on this one?!
Agree.
