But here's what you told me last month, Senator, about taking that kind of a deal.Take a look. >> Offering a vote in the Senate without a commitment that it would pass, without a commitment that the House would even take it up is an is an empty offer. >> And yet, Senator, that's exactly what you voted for.So, what chan ...
