in the ass, but at the same time to there's nothing to vote on....this is all moot until they bring the bill to the floor, and currently the infrastructure bill is working its way through the system. I'm far more concerned about S1 but there's no push from Senate leadership to push this before Infrastructure (which I think could be a catastrophic mistake). So all the stuff Manchin is talking about is meaningless at the moment, except for his voter block.
