59. Which is pretty lame

From comments in the same source you've provided:

I don't understand why you say "OK; there you go." Is there actually something in Sanders's amendment that would have "eliminated the ability of the FDA to force states to comply with a more pro-consumer standard in the future" as Warren's press secretary claims?
Has anyone here found the actual text of the amendment, or seen any further reasoning or a response from Sanders?

----------------

OK, I found the text of the amendement at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?r113:./temp/~r113K9vL3r - search for "SA 965". I don't see anything supporting what Warren's press secretary claims.
