I'm more curious about my senators. They have been awfully quite on this and have not said crap about thune.

Physically locked?

It means you can't transition to a male.

No more testosterone for females.

So what are the rules? He can call a vote for recess? Is it a simple majority to take recess?

If so, I’d imagine all the Dems and half the Repubs want their nice vacation

Bless your little heart, leftie.

And you post on here like you are some kind of informed TDS sufferer.

Unanimous consent.

One Senator can block it.

Per Google.

I saw something like 85% of Americans want this.

Get it done Senators.

Lee is not allowing the "implied consent" to happen, where Thune says everybody is going home for recess and if no one objects, it happens

By formally objecting and forcing a vote, Lee is making everyone put their vote in public

But if that vote occurs, a simple majority is still enough to go on recess. They just have to say it in public
