Good God

The Black Caucus is meeting Wednesday afternoon to discuss next steps after several of their members told Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team that they will refuse to advance a must-pass defense policy measure without securing a vote on their voting rights bill, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.

[...]

The bill they're pushing to add, as first reported by Punchbowl News, has already been passed by the Democratic-controlled House. It would restore a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — which requires states with histories of discriminatory voting practices to have new election laws or practices reviewed by a federal court or the Justice Department. Democrats named their bill after the late Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).

If the Dems can cave to Republican demands that military personnel not be subject to a Covid vaccine mandate, then, for the love of god, can they not allow voting rights demands?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
