The Rs created this bill for show never expecting it to pass. To their surprise the Dems took the bait and helped pass it in the House twice.

Now Schumer got steamrolled last night on amendments.

Rs: sure Chuck, just vote for the bill and we'll allow some amendments later. Nope, didn't happen.

The Dems getting played and capitulating on this is so depressing.
