Holy shit shut the fuck up leif
No more so than "We killed terrorists!" as a rebuttal to 8 years of eroding civil liberty, endless war and out of control congressional spending.
But I wonder if you're just deflecting because really the bill is exactly within the scope of congressional powers and you'd only be against it if you were in some way in the pocket of the industry it targets. Let's have a look at the records..
Oh look, a Defense contractor in his top 10 contributors list...golly a man sure can take a stand on principle alone, amirite?
I liked Leif a lot better when his ranting bullshit was at least somewhat believable. Now it's just contrived and boring. We know what he's going to say before he even types it.
Considering they did not vote for it, I'm completely lost.
Companies can actualy punish people, its called being fired.

It's sad that she can't attempt to get the people involved sent to jail, but it seems like she wants money instead of sending them to jail. Sorry to say, but she's gonna lose to Hallibertan, they a big company.
You do realize the woman in question was locked in a fucking shipping container by KBR employees and detained until her family got help from our government, right?
There was no good reason to vote against this amendment.
Sec. 8104. (a) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be used for any existing or new Federal contract if the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier requires that an employee or independent contractor, as a condition of employment, sign a contract that mandates that the employee or independent contractor performing work under the contract or subcontract resolve through arbitration any claim under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or any tort related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment, including assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, or negligent hiring, supervision, or retention.
Oh they could of have voted for this amendment but against the main bill(which is a DoD bill which the majority of those republicans had voted for in the past). Fuck off with the partisan bullshit. This should have passed 100%.
