When things have really moved in the Senate, it's because a party has said we are going to put all of our power behind this issue, whether it be Obamacare or something else.
And we're going to make this a priority for us.
Or am I wrong about that?
I mean, it really is sort of astonishing that we're still having this discussion.
It's so many years after it passed.
Do you take those Senator Flake's point that it would have been better legislation if they would have waited some more and talked to Republicans?
Or do you think nothing would have happened at all?
I want to end with this question about how much power the Senate has right now, because as you've discussed, they've ceded control over tariffs, but also over foreign affairs.
I mean, there's uproar over the double tap strike on a boat allegedly carrying drugs.
And we've seen a group of Democratic lawmakers send a video message to the military urging them to ignore illegal orders.
There are Marines, there are Navy ships sent
I mean, do you feel like the Senate's response to the very real questions about what we're doing in and around Venezuela is sufficient?
And why isn't there more oversight?
Why isn't there more questioning of something, again, that was a core purview of the Senate?
Would you like to see the senators do more from both parties?
I want to thank you so much for your time.
This has been really enlightening.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you all again.
Thank you, Lilla.
