But I love how the four GOPers' reason for voting to block is "What if the Dems come along later and declare a national emergency for climate change or health care? You know...a REAL emergency?"
Of course, they don't say it that way, but that's what I hear.

I'm glad he's voting against it, but Paul seems to me to be the type who just likes to be contrary to everything because it gets him a lot of attention.

Just that they do. Their reasons are quite irrelevant.

Nothing changes overnight
I'll believe it when I see it in black and white

In the black core of doubt
Trying to get out in the light
Sometimes you can't see anything
Everyone is changed
Everyone is still the same
They can't get out of the game
