Lower those eyebrows, young man. And the other one.

There currently is no bill as written unless he means the House version.

It's an empty platitude hes copying from his statement after the second Senate attempt at BRCA.

McCain's speech would probably have had more force if he hadn't just voted on a MTP that is in direct opposition to what he just said.

This is pure industrial-strength McCain. He has never been more concerned and disturbed about anything in his life than right now.

Yet no one is confident that he'll do much to stop it if his vote is actually needed.

Even if they get a bill out of the senate today the senate and house will have to vote for the real and different bill again in the future. This is nowhere near the end.

If there's one thing I expect will remain a constant even in the Trump era it's Congress taking an exceedingly long time to come to a conclusion on anything. The defining trait of U.S Politics is how divisive and oppositional to a fault it is. It basically looks like trying to dick the other party over more than get anything done for the last 15 years especially. Definitely in the McConnell era more than any I can recall.

He's said many times that he votes to proceed on everything. It's a weird old parliamentary sticking point, but he thinks bill deserve votes. If the bill goes down, his vote for this doesn't matter. If it goes through, obviously the votes weren't there to stop the motion either. Obsessing over what's happening right this second when it may ultimately not matter at all is dumb.

I think it might be worth noting that this is a "motion to proceed" and that a yes vote on it does not necessarily equal a yes vote on the bill, just as a no vote doesn't necessarily equal a no vote on the bill. McCain is still completely devoid of any principles whatsoever, but this statement isn't incongruous with his vote. He's indicating that he thinks this bill could be turned into something he would vote for, and that the motion to proceed means that the process to do that can begin.

Again: anyone who voted yes on this is still an evil piece of poo poo. There are a ton of reasons why voting for the MTP was a terrible thing. But don't act like they just passed a bill.
