    Is that how it works? I assumed the Senate had a situation where bills sometimes don’t get voted on as well. This is good news!

      They did for quite awhile cause of McConnell, the thing is that the MAGA types kinda broke that control. Also some of the MAGA types will probably vot for this bill because they are very erratic.

        Privacy does seem to be an issue certain MAGA folks would respond well to, for sure.
