re: #18 Gus

Did Amash and/or Conyers even consult with the White House? That’s typically how when helps get legislation passed.

With legislation that has no chance of passing there’s usually a coordinated effort that allows a certain number of legislators to vote for the sole purpose of pandering to certain demographics. Just like when Obama as a senator voted against raising the debt limit. He did it, not because he actually believed that it was a good idea to not raise the limit, but because he wanted to pander to the anti-Republican masses who helped him get elected a few years later. It’s just a method to pander to idiots.
