Louie Gohmert Fellow Citizens is holding up the House passed bill from going to the Senate.

We still do not have a final draft of the negotiated changes being called ’technical corrections’ and some of us believe that the newly worded laws should be finished before we pass them. #CoronaVirus

WASHINGTON — Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, is holding up the House-passed coronavirus relief bill and preventing it from being delivered to the Senate for a vote.

The House was expected to make technical corrections Monday to the bipartisan measure, passed by the House early Saturday, but Gohmert is insisting on reading them out loud, a Democratic leadership aide confirmed to NBC News on Monday.

snip--"If one member stands in opposition, the House can’t send the bill to the Senate without bringing the entire House back from their districts to Washington for a vote. The Senate is in session this week, but schedules have been fluid because of the coronavirus outbreak."

Some people are real assholes.
Some people are angels.

Knowing the difference, is common sense?

Unfortunately, common sense, turns out, not really common?
