Well, there's zero chance the bill is going anywhere but maybe they can get people "on record" voting against it, I guess. I have so little faith in our system of "checks and balances" anymore. One thing I've learned over the last 7 years is that our entire government is underpinned by "handshake" agreements with no rule of law and no methods for accountability and the people who make the laws aren't really interested in fixing that.
