Hillary's minutemen smear: Sabo-D, 2006: "This amendment simply restates what's policy"

During the discussion of the amendment in question, on June 6th, 2006, Martin Sabo (D-Minnestota) spoke:

Mr. SABO: Mr. Chairman, I claim the time in opposition; but, Mr. Chairman, I don't rise in opposition.
The Acting CHAIRMAN: The gentleman from Minnesota is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. SABO: Mr. Chairman, we are told by Customs and Border Patrol that this amendment has no effect on its operation because it only shares information when it is required by international treaty, the same as what this amendment says. So to the best of my knowledge this amendment simply restates what is policy. If people want to put it in the bill, I guess that is okay because it apparently does nothing.


CSPAN has the video of this statement here, for those who want to view it in context:

So there's that.

Every attack on Sanders voting record is always on innuendo and disingenuous pretzel twisting with a complete lack of nuance.
