"The fact that a new version of this bill was released the very week we are supposed to vote compounds the problem". "Once again, Senate Republican "leadership" has demonstrated that its promises are meaningless". Even if Vice President Mike Pence pulls a tiebreaker vote in their favor, with three senators out and assumedly no Democratic senators on board, the chances of the bill's passing appear remote. "U.S. Senate can not get the text of a bill on a Sunday night, then proceed to a vote just days later, with only one hearing - and especially not on an issue that is intensely personal to all of us".
