If @RandPaul is truly going to block debate under all circumstances, he's reversing a position he publicly stated just four days ago
@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 -
@emptywheel@HarleyGeiger@NathanielDWhite Right; if the debate gets delayed you may need clarifier. -
@JakeLaperruque@emptywheel@NathanielDWhite No. DOJ is saying they don't need a clarifier, they just want to avoid lawsuits on the issue. - 2 more replies
