Beyond shameful!
NDAA shouldn’t even be with us; doesn’t seem Constitutional to me.
Still, due process is a cornerstone of our legal system, is it not? It is one of the few things that separates us from every other country.
Attaching riders to a bill that it has nothing to do with is an evil deed.
Really?...

Lindsey Graham is the lone Senator that blocked the amendment going forward.
Only McConnel can undo that. He can bypass the tradition that says amendments need 60 votes just to go forward after they have been approved by their committee. He can release the amendment himself if he choses. It is no different than how Harry Reid previously removed the same amendment from a final National Defense Autorization bill that the Senate had agreed would include the amendment (the amendment was approved in a vote of the whole Senate and then when the final bill was voted on, the amendment was not there).
