... and at the same time in that start of a new senate, voted AGAINST Merkley's rule changes attempting to shut down the filibuster. So did she really want just the theater for her bill and WANT it to not pass? Me thinks so! That is the kind of senator she is. More what's behind the scenes than what she does for the people of this country.
