THIS JUST PROVES THESE POLITICIANS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY VOTE FOR. THEY VOTE ACCORDING TO WHOMEVER IS IN OFFICE AND WHATEVER WAY THE WIND BLOWS OR HOW THEY ARE TOLD TO VOTE. THIS IS PATHETIC, SUCH HYPOCRITES. CLEAN THE SWAMP AND I TRULY BELIEVE PELOSI IS DIRECTLY LEADING THE DEMOCRATS. THEY CANT STAND ALONE WITHOUT BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO. <br
