Just a matter of wording. Why don't they have the votes? triron Mar 2021 #44

TY.. that was my first thought too Cha Mar 2021 #34

Well, that spirit of heroism was short lived... DSandra Mar 2021 #2

Shame on Manchin and Sinema! Make believe Dems toying unfairly with ppls lives Thekaspervote Mar 2021 #4

Murphy didn't exactly say that, gab13by13 Mar 2021 #6

I thought bdamomma Mar 2021 #11

He didn't. Murphy was specifically talking about the COVID relief bill, and the delay tactics JohnSJ Mar 2021 #18

He's a politician. triron Mar 2021 #45

I appreciate you responding, but it was more than that, and as I mentioned in a previous replay JohnSJ Mar 2021 #52

He didn't suggest that. Rachel did. triron Mar 2021 #46

Sure, but he said they were looking at all options. Unfortunately, I believe you mischaracterized JohnSJ Mar 2021 #48

Thank you for clarifying. Cha Mar 2021 #35

Keep bringing it to the floor to keep hope alive. tirebiter Mar 2021 #9

That is what Rachel brought up also. The OP is mischaracterizing what was said JohnSJ Mar 2021 #19

I was so relieved to hear this possibility Sogo Mar 2021 #23

The question still remains if the Democrats will do it, but at least it is on the table JohnSJ Mar 2021 #24
