Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of four Republican senators who came out against the current version of the Senate bill to repeal Obamacare, on Sunday said the Senate should delay its vote on the proposal.
“I would like to delay the thing. There’s no way we should be voting on this next week. No way,” Johnson said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
He said senators “don’t have enough information” to vote on the bill.
“I don’t have the feedback from constituencies who will not have had enough time to review the Senate bill,” Johnson said. “We should not be voting on this next week.”
Johnson is one of four Republican senators who said on Thursday that they are not ready to vote for the bill in its current form but “are open to negotiation.”
Their announcement may not present much of an obstacle, despite putting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) two votes short of the number he will need to pass the legislation.
Johnson wants his own version of the Cornhusker Kickback. Wisconsin, huh? Maybe Senator Johnson wants a little more cheddar before he agrees to vote for it. Call it the Cheddar Compromise. I know, kinda cheesy.
As JM says these Senators will cry and whine and then cave and vote for it. That includes my useless Sens Ernst & Grassley and this empty domed pinhead I can’t believe he beat a quality legislator like Feingold. I don’t want to sound like the proverbial old man yelling at a cloud but what the hell is happening to this country.
“I just want more assurances that I’m not going to get a lot of old people in walkers showing up at my town halls, screaming at me before I collect my bribe.”
This is what’s happening to this country.
Saw this the other day. Aldous Huxley knew what would be happening to us eventually.
