(13,305 posts)where I said I "assume" anything? Since you put that word in quotes and attributed it to me I can only suppose that I must have written exactly that. But for the life of me I couldn't find out where I used the word "assume" (unlike the poster I was responding to, who explicitly used the word "assume"
.
But in any event, I would say the fact that the White House issued it's statement AFTER many of the bills own sponsors came out in favor of shelving the vote, and AFTER many others had already reversed their stance on it, was a pretty clear indication that the bill was going down prior to this weekend's statement by the White House.
So the basic laws of space and time indicate that if someone comes out with a statement AFTER other people come out with statements, that their information is based on and in some way related to the actions and impacts of those statements which came BEFORE their own.
