I usually don’t get outraged at bills that are not laws yet, but… The Congress webpage says it has already passed the Senate and has 20 cosponsors, roughly even from each party.

It passed in the last Senate with a voice vote, which means it had overwhelming support. Thankfully, it being in the previous Senate means that the bill has to start over. Hopefully, the increased scrutiny will lead to amendments or killing the bill. With Trump essentially admitting that he intends to abuse it, I have a bad feeling that it’ll pass with a party line vote.

  He admitted that he intends to abuse this bill? Got a link? I missed that one.

      Oh I see so we’re just interpreting what he says ridiculously again. I figured after this many years we would be past that.

        And, apparently, we’re still doing the deliberately obtuse act. Nothing ever changes.
