So try to pass it, let it fail, and then publish the bill text as an example of what you’ll pass when you win the election. Then when you win, actually pass the damn bill. “Promises kept.” It’s not rocket science.
Edit: love the downvotes, keep them coming. “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.” Classic Big D.
That's what they're doing now in this exact case!! omg.
speaker controls the floor. republicans dont have to even let debate happen. the only way to force a vote is discharge petition.
but then the speaker also controls the schedule so republicans will just shut it down and not work for 2 months to avoid the vote.
