We received the bill textual disclose material, correct moments sooner than we had been expected to vote on it. It ended up getting an incredible vote, because essentially all of Democrats and ten or 15 Republicans voted for it. Here’s lovely to me. Here’s no longer how the Senate is meant to operate.
