    Of course they did, because that’s who Democrats are. They are controlled opposition that only talk about opposing Republicans, in the end they legislate exactly like them.

    The timing here is what makes this move particularly baffling…

    It’s only baffling if you cling to the ever-more-laughable belief that the Democrats are any sort of meaningful opposition.

    If you instead simply shift to the ever-more-supported belief that they are in fact essentially oligarchic co-conspirators, then the timing makes perfect sense.

      Yea, both Democrats and Republicans have a pretty solid history of voting in lock step on matters of giving themselves more power.
