If @RandPaul is truly going to block debate under all circumstances, he's reversing a position he publicly stated just four days ago

@emptywheel@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul "I'll allow debate if I get 2 amdts" "I won't allow debate no matter what" Completely inconsistent -
@JakeLaperruque What you've quoted is not in the piece, and certainly not in Paul's statement.@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul -
@emptywheel@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul This seems to be pretty clearly saying no debate under any circumstancespic.twitter.com/uVd86XeUUi

@JakeLaperruque Yes. It is very clearly an inaccurate read of statement which is given in full.@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul -
@emptywheel@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul Hope you're right; no reason to block debate if he could get votes on amdts he wants

@emptywheel@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul Couldnt become law, but could move forward, & that issue was clear Tuesday when stance was different -
@JakeLaperruque If USAF does not become law, which it cannot w/amendments, PATRIOT expires.@NathanielDWhite@RandPaul -
Can
@RandPaul prolong time on the USAF & extension votes? Haven't they ripened over this week?@emptywheel@JakeLaperruque@NathanielDWhite -
@HarleyGeiger Cloture can come right up again. Then what? Then he can refuse UI to vote on bill right away@JakeLaperruque@NathanielDWhite -
Makes sense, though cloture is the hurdle. He can refuse UC & burn 30 hours for amendments too.
@emptywheel@JakeLaperruque@NathanielDWhite -
@HarleyGeiger Right. Problem is if USAF as written gets cloture would still need modified w/DiFi's last ¶@JakeLaperruque@NathanielDWhite -
@emptywheel@HarleyGeiger@NathanielDWhite Even if passed and signed before midnight? -
@JakeLaperruque Yes, but that would require UC to skip 30 hours of debate.@HarleyGeiger@NathanielDWhite - 4 more replies
