The Democrats in the senate here -- proposed the legislation because many of Democrats were up.
In that 2012.
Are very nervous about it but.
I don't think there's any doubt that this just kind of just more of the same to and the president has decided shifted strategy to.
A tightly Harry Truman and do nothing congress attack I don't I'm not sure how it works when the Democrats have the majority in the senate but.
