If the GOP really supports an Abortion Ban, then put that in a stand alone bill, have the debate and vote on it. The Right is constantly trying to sneak in provisions concerning key planks of it GOP Platform because no one has the guts to put legislation out there for a vote. That says a lot about the GOPâs core values.

The last time I did business on a trust basis I told the person I was working with every detail of the agreement. We then reduced it to writing. If I ever found that the person writing up the agreement added issues not agreed to not only was the deal off but never again would we conduct business in a trusting environment. The GOP simply can not be trusted.

The GOTP sell all their âabove boardsâ when theyâre building their shaky platforms.

By the way, over a more than 25 years I did millions of dollars in business trusting the other side. I also found a few people with whom I could never trust to be honest brokers. We did business but only after verifying every detail of their proposals.

One would have have expected our representatives to read anything and everything before signing anything the GOP proposes.

If the dems can prove they approved the draft language before the final vote then the bill should be nullified or vetoed by the presâŚ

I donât think any subterfuge was intended. The Republicans simply wanted to clarify that while human trafficking is slavery and wrong, the women arenât really being raped since they are technically property, and therefore should not be able to abort any pregnancy resulting from such. After all, itâs what our Founding Fathers did while drafting our own Constitution.

Sneaky? You bet. Thatâs why reading the bill before voting remains a good practice.

and yet, theyâve been doing this shit for the past several years. every fucking bill has this shit tucked away somewhere. i saw klobuchar standing alongside cornyn for an interview and she really strikes me as unbelievably naive â a sweet minnesota product who really should be in the state house and not wdc ⌠that the dems are constantly surprised that the republicans do this is pathetic.

If the Democrats havenât learned by now to read every fucking word in every fucking bill ( like the 4 words in the ACA ) they ought to get bamboozled. If the GOPâers are dealing with a bunch of dumb asses why shouldnât they take advantage of it?

They canât. If that were the case the bill goes back to committee to deliberate on the post approval amendments. It seems in this case the words were there and the Democrats did not read them. They voted for a bill they did not entirely read. If they âtrustedâ the GOPâers they are a whole lot dumber than I thought.

Everyone here blaming Democrats for not reading the bill? Maybe youâre right, but I note that none of us know at what point this language was slipped into it. A bill gets a lot of votes in the Senate before vote appears, from the subcommittee to final vote stage. You ought to be able to assume that the bill you cosponsored when it was introduced is the same as the one you voted on in committee unless thereâs a vote on an amendment and that the draft that comes out of a committee actually reflects what the committee voted to put into it.
The Republicans keep looking for new boundaries to breach. They really want us to blame Democrats for it when they do.
Hell, before the 114th Congress is over, I wouldnât be surprised if the GOP men start busting in to the womenâs restrooms to take noisy dumps in the sinks.

Thatâs some expert âgoverningâ right there.
