The relevant quote was around the 16:20

Mitch, it's a secret ballot. That means we do have a sacred right to not have to announce how we voted.

1. It's a legal right, not a sacred one ;)

Mitch was just being theologically exact.

2. People can zip it if they want. And people are also entitled to LIE about how they voted!

When Nixon resigned it was impossible to find ANYONE who voted for him. They either stayed home or voted "D!"

3. As a matter of principle

I disagree with just about everything Mitch McConnell says because he's an asshole.

I see no reason to deviate from that stance here!

6. maybe he means it's a secular right?

No, nvm, that would make too much sense.

8. I think its an ok question to ask a politician.

They can refuse to answer, but might have to face backlash for ducking an easy question.
