| xp1337 12/14/18 11:04:55 AM #465: | Unfortunately, the House had already previously made it impossible for them to join the Yemen bill when Ryan jammed an amendment into the farm bill to keep the House from using the War Powers Act. Obviously that won't be a problem once the Democrats take control, but the Senate would have to reintroduce it/vote on it again I think and I'm sure McConnell would prevent them from voting on it - he opposed it this time! I suspect he only let it go because the House had already made it moot on Wednesday. The House could take up the unanimous Senate vote blaming MBS for the murder - and that would force Trump to either sign or veto, but cynically I expect either Ryan to keep it from a vote, or only let it vote at a time when it would allow Trump to pocket veto so he can try to claim he didn't "really" veto it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
