One of two things will happen:

1) all Dems and enough GOPe of the Senate will say "fine" and still vote for the vacation.

Or

2) they'll wait until Lee and his supporters are out of the chamber and do a snap motion/vote.

It’s not all of them? That would be news to me.

If you get to national level politics like that you are bought and paid for full stop.

Lee’s words, no sugarcoating:
“I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote.

This is the fight for clean elections. This is the fight against noncitizen voting. This is America First over party comfort.

No more delays. No more recesses. Force the YEAs and NAYs.

So what are the rules?
He is demanding a roll call to determine who is voting for another Thunecess and deliberately obstructing the administration. It is about time.

It was enough of a move that Mrs Gavel (Senator Ashley Moody - Florida) has finally realized her primary bid is in jeopardy and she has joined with Senator Lee in demanding a roll call.

John Kennedy joined the coalition.


Of course he did, AFTER it was "safe" to do so! Notice that he wasn't the first.
That being said, all this surely was gamed out. Lee probably wouldn't be the first if he hadn't already talked to others that ageeed to back him. Politics.

It would be interesting for somebody/anybody in the Senate to wear a pin camera and show us the backstage maneuvering. I bet they call us morons a LOT when they think they are safe to do so.

Y'all are all over the place and appear to not have any clue what you are talking about. Nothing I have said is incorrect in the slightest.

But here is your softball. How is anything I've written "wrong"?
