Apparently, it's just a stratagem by Massie, et al.
I'm not really seeing any violation of principle (yet).
We'll just have to see how well (or poorly) it plays out.
Here's an explanation from MTG, for whatever it may be worth (h/t PAF: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene: I agree with my conservative friends in the Freedom Caucus):

Thanks for that. Yep, interesting strategy. If Massie really snuck a bitter pill into this legislation, I can see why he voted for it. I'm sure the left will find a way to defeat this strategy when the time comes (if they haven't already crafted the scheme) but gotta give Massie some cred for trying.
Watched this interesting take on the current culture war from Adam Curry (didn't even realize this guy was still active)
His take is that the back-and-forth on these cultural issues, with each side gaining moral victories at the expense of the other, is the bigger problem we're dealing with. Megyn's having none of that as she's enjoying the long-overdue moral victory for her side. She thinks the tide of the war is turning; he thinks the battles are just escalating and real people are suffering while those with the money and power are laughing at us.
Thoughts?
Man, Thomas is taking a beating on this one.
I hear his rationale, but it's still unpleasant. Yeah, he's probably right, but doesn't make it go down any better. If Massie can't be the conscience of the party, then what's the point? Just feels like a premature surrender.
The quality of Trumpscuses has declined. Was a time he'd have fixed everything once he accumulated enough stock to become chairman of the board and start firing people, so just shut up and wait.

So, you take a sniff, mistake an anti-Fed argument for a minimum wage argument, and jump off board? Do you think victims of inflation and the systematic destruction of manufacturing jobs should be stripped of the right to vote, but corporations should get to vote even though they are things, not people? You say government is the problem, not the corporations, but I don't see you acknowledging who or what it is that is paying the lobbyists to make the particular bribes they make.
Did a delay in response give the gunman more time? Cops face questions over why it took three hours for SWAT teams to storm Orlando nightclub as police chief admits officers may have shot some of the VICTIMS
...Police Chief John Mina has also admitted that some of the victims may have been hit by officers' gun fire.
However he insisted it is a part of the investigation into the horrific attack.
I just can't decide who to vote for in the presidential race. They're both just so perfect! I can't believe it. Things are just going so well I never considered firing the president, but this Romney guy is just such a temptation!
Romney promises us more war. Obama promised us just the opposite, but that's ok, because he saw Dubya's two wars and raised us three police actions. I think that's a wonderful thing, and can't wait for the next one. I heard somewhere that with six you
Once upon a time, there was a thing called the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was founded to prevent kamikaze capitalism amongst railroads in a day when their efficiencies and primitive technology pretty much guaranteed them a monopoly in viable transportation.
The best thing Reagan did, in my opinion, and the one time I felt some hope for a moment that he would prove to be the libertarian he claimed to be, was when he abolished this bureau. But it was a decade too late to save
What has it to do with politics? Everything. Politicians piss us off, then try to misdirect our anger 'across the aisle' to people who are fundamentally exactly the same, but wear a different party label. The game is age old, but still works.
People are angry, but they are often in denial about it. They know they're angry, but they don't want to admit they're angry
