What she conveniently leaves out is what's in the rest of the bill. I don't know what else is in the bill but it wasn't a stand alone bill for equal pay. There's even a very good possibility that it was a set-up bill; the Dems added other BS to it so the Rep would HAVE TO vote it down.
I'm not saying that there aren't things to debate, just that it doesn't appear to be because of any unrelated riders on the bill.
Nowadays with all of the opposition between parties you don't seem to see that as much. Of course when they do it's "Katy bar the doors" time on the wallet.

Thanks for the info & like I said I didn't read it. If this is a stand alone bill without earmarks, pork, etc. it's rare as hell.

Not the case here...
Senate Dems just voted unanimously to oppose it, and Warren has the unmitigated gall to brag about their vote. Bizarre.

There it is...that's what they REALLY want. Talk about a demagogue's wet dream...
