Not the actual bill just yet, but a "motion to commit."

Is this NDAA bill exactly the same as the Senate NDAA bill? Or did they change it?
As Rand Paul has pointed out, this year's NDAA does not change indefinite detentions one way or another. Probably quite a few other reasons to oppose it though.
It was a Democratic procedural motion to instruct conferees, which I believe Amash and Paul always vote against.
This one passed 399-4 because it was related to a plan for promoting the security of Afghan women and girls during the security transition process.
Here's the roll call vote:

The House and Senate bills are different so they have to go to conference to resolve the differences, which will happen next week.Quote:

Good for our four.
Dust and ashes to the other 399.

edit, I was going to put it on the front page but the OP doesn't yet seem to have anything that would actually go there.... :p
Is Kerry not there yet? Did it after all turn out he didn't win the idiot special election so we get to give someone a lifetime pension for one month's work?

edit, damn. I was following this thread for a while but for a while it said he won/was winning the special election. Oh well FIVE votes come January. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post4751025
Kucinich voted for it though. Interesting.
NDAA or indefinite detention?
You don't get a congressional pension until you serve 5 years.Quote:

We have almost nothing but pillagers and mafia men in the Republi-con party. It's good to have a few good ones here and there like Massie, Amash, etc. but the machine is so stacked against their agenda it's beyond depressing.
