"This amendment creates a narrow, commonsense check to ensure the pardon power is used fairly and responsibly regardless of who occupies the White House"
I mean, a small crack is detrimental to the whole. One today, maybe not another for a while, but a crack looks to be forming. Not a lot, but it’s something.
Don’t believe it to be a crack. Republicans (and Democrats too tbh) are experts at controlled opposition. Oppose or support something just enough to get a headline out of it but never enough to influence the outcome.
Shit, that’s right, I was treating it like a regular law but that doesn’t apply here. 20 GOP and every DNC and IND in that case. Also this guy isn’t even a senator.
Wow, one whole non-plural republican?

It’s enough to tip a house vote, so, yeah, it’s a big deal
Which means they need 3 more to pass it at a 51:49 but if Republicans filibuster then it becomes 12 more at 60:40EDIT: Amendments require 67. Also this is a house rep, not even a senator.
don’t amendments need 67 Senate votes?
