ETA: Does he even really have it, or just trying to shut the Senate down before the vote?
DURHAM D
(32,610 posts)6. Wow. It had not occurred to me that he could be lying

Makes you do wonder why the Senate gym isn't wheelchair accessible. Don't they make the ADA laws?

then the rest are probably infected as well. They need to stay and finish their work, he's just one less NO vote on the floor. They can quarantine after they finish the nation's business.

When they elect a pope, they are locked in until they have made their selection.
We could lock Congress in until this crisis is over.

but the Senate gym remains open. These fuckers really believe they are an entity on to themselves.
