    Not to detract from said law, but you’d think our reps would have more important issues to deal with domestically

      Por que no los dos?

      I hate that argument because it’s not like there’s any limit to how many bills they can introduce.

      No. There aren’t any other issues they can deal with. The Democratic representatives can write any number of bills that, if passed, would help people, industry, climate , or anything else. The problem is, anything the Democrats propose would be reflexively shat on by the Republican majority and never pass. The Democrats could probably write an American version of the Kill the Gays bill and the House Republicans would still vote it down just to keep Biden from having a win.

      The only positive thing the Democratic majority can do is force the Republicans to show their true colors by making them vote to support this hideous Ugandan law.

      It’s just a sense of the House, not a law. House keeping is part of the job, unfortunately the only one they can get done these days.
