The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The problem with these efforts is that no one has to go on record...

Except for Mike Johnson (and the sponsors of the bill(s)), that is true. If Johnson refuses to bring it to the floor, we know where he stands. We also know where the sponsor(s) of the bill(s) stand. Isn't it common for a lot of people to have their name on a bill (even though they aren't sponsors) as an expression of support? Seem to recall that in the past.

The Felon has said he will veto any such bill. I have doubts they have enough votes to override. But maybe...?? If the Reps are having to cancel town halls because of irate constituents, maybe they will vote to override? There are more and more irate constituents every day, it seems.
