I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Republicans are for “state’s rights” when that means promoting segregation and tormenting LGBTQ folks.
When state’s rights means feeding your state’s residents, they are all in for the federal government ensuring starvation.
