Congress ordering food & drink while holding votes?

[Captain Zero]

Why? Just saw on tv that they are sleeping and ordering breakfast while hearing amendments and voting. Isn't that wrong when one party has state legislatures passing laws prohibiting food and drink to be brought to long voting lines in general elections?

1. Isn't that some bullshit . . .

those are red states that outlaw food and drinks for people in long lines and hours to vote.

2. Great catch.

I couldn't stay awake to watch.

You make sense. The R's reduce polling locations, create long lines to vote. then when D's help make the wait tolerable, R's rush in to make kindness illegal.

4. It's the old QOP....

practice of "do as I say, not as I do". They believe themselves to be far above mere mortals, so holding them to the same rules, laws etc. they demand their constituents follow is pure folly.

5. They're special. Very special. They are above any law or fairness.
