Political Factoid
"The Senate passed
a bipartisan gun bill
late [2022-Jun-23] in
a 65-33 vote."
But House minority leader
Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and
House minority whip Steve
Scalise (R-LA) promised that
it would be dead in the water *
when it got to the House
of Representatives.
And the McConnell-Trump
courts are their backstops.
| * |
At least it would get absolutely
zero Republican votes.**
|
| ** |
When the time came,
14 Republicans did vote
for the bill, out of extreme
home-district pressure, or
they were not running for
re-election.
