this was done in a nearly empty house judiciary committee meeting on 9/11 first responder health care. shameful.

I don't agree with Stewart about much,but he is right about this subject. The way congress has treated 911 first responders is shameful and most of these scumbags didn't even bother to show up. Can we just vote everyone out?

there are a lot of congress folk that did a lot of heavy lifting to eventually get this stuff passed, and a lot of congress folk who continually put up roadblocks to its passage. we may not want to reflexively vote everyone out.

turns out this was a sub committee, there were a few members not present, but it wasn't as empty as it first appeared. i would think this should get out of the house easily.

The bill passed the House overwhelmingly with about 11 dissenting votes. (I think that was the number).

One negative vote was from Mo Brooks of Alabama. Anti-Trumpet Justin Amash also voted against it. Mike Rogers of Alabama didn’t vote at all.
