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.


> no matter who does it, what riders goes alongside it, or what it was a rider to

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
