(57,751 posts)which of the legislation she discusses became law? Any of it? I was under the impression that McConnell was committed to blocking any and everything Democrats wanted. So how did, in her words, "I passed, and "I repealed," legislation? I'm under the impression that she is talking about her vote for bills the Democratic House majority passed--you know, with a majority of the vote, as is required by law--but that haven't been acted on by the senate. Am I incorrect in that?
She also talks about legislation like the Green New Deal, which while admirable hasn't passed even in the House, and will be non-binding even if it does.
If you read my post, you would have seen that I said that I liked much of what she does in congress but was not a fan of her twitter habit. It is that which gets the most adulation on this site, far more than actions in congress.
