I don’t have to be in support of something just because it benefits me

In fact condemning something despite the fact that it would benefit you personally ought to be considered noble.

I am very much in support of Section 174A no matter who does it, what riders goes alongside it, or what it was a rider to

Congress can always pass anything else at any speed. This slow motion filibuster thing is a choice, and the powerlessness of doing anything about that choice just means everyone else should have a single they care about too to correct the laws and riders that shouldn’t have passed.

    Really? You can’t think of anything you wouldn’t support in order to get this thing that benefits you?

    • the things I wouldn’t support don't have consensus

      wont be in a reconciliation bill

      wont be supported by the courts

      and the rest of my observation about how Congress can deal with and has dealt with riders after the fact still stands
