      What else can be said that would actually to add to the conversation after this? I can think of nothing.

      Yet you still commented.

      I think it’s important to point out that this vote only failed because they basically pulled a guy out of a hospital bed to vote no

      The failure came about because of the surprise appearance in the chamber of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who showed up unexpectedly — having recently had surgery and wearing hospital scrubs and no socks, according to NBC — to vote against the bill.

      So not exactly a stunning rebuke of the wackos.

        Somewhat ironically Republicans will likely be pulling a different guy out of a hospital bed (Steve Scalise, getting chemo) to counter this one and vote on it again.

        And they’re hoping another vote will pass once another rep gets out of his hospital bed. There seems to be a common theme here.
