Please don't derail the topic by asking questions about me.
I have made it very clear this topic is about those that defend this bill and why they feel that way. A simple inquiry to the most basic of your political positions is on topic.

Seems very dead in the senate 6 months ago with only 48 votes (60 needed).
I usually don't read bills unless they are signed by the president. I can't change the bills and the contents of proposed bills is not going to change how I vote. So me reading and forming an opinion on dead bills is not even worth my time. If it becomes law, then i decide how much i care.
What is this topic even about? Seems like it's to beat the house democrats over the head with a dead horse. Sounds like a circle jerk.
It is important to understand which representatives are supporting which bills, regardless if they become law or not. In the same way the descending opinions on court cases are important.
But again, and I have been extremely clear from the beginning, this topic is about the language in this specific bill, which has overwhelming support within the democrat party. I cannot ask Joaquin Castro (the closest representative to me who voted in favor of this) directly. I would like to understand the positions of those who are likely to vote for a representative who, in turn, will vote for legislation such as this bill.
