| xp1337 05/19/21 6:52:47 PM #213: | House vote on the 1/6 Commission just finished. Passes 252-175 Dems: 217-0 GOP: 35-175 McConnell has reportedly come out against it though so probably dies in the Senate? IDK, you might have the Trump convict votes for it but you'd still need a few more to get 60 even if you got all of them. Edit: I see LotM beat me to some of that. Had my post open as I was watching the vote. Edit 2: That said, Republicans killing this would be an own goal IMO. As I mentioned before, the Dems already watered this commission down to a joke that would allow the GOP to stonewall and obstruct since they have veto power on subpoenas. If they really do kill it in the Senate, I imagine Dems just go the route of setting up Select Committees where they'd have more power by virtue of how committees work. (This was the route the GOP used for their 4385 Benghazi 'investigations.') --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
