Rand Paul plans to force vote on $110B Saudi defense deal Sen. Rand Paul intends to force a vote on a $110 billion defense deal President Trump signed with Saudi Arabia, according to an aide to the Kentucky Republican. Paul is expected to introduce a measure to disapprove of the sale later on Wednesday, the aide said, over concerns that the deal may pull the U.S. into Yemen's civil war. The move will allow Paul to force a vote in early June. Under the Arms Export Control Act, he can bring the measure up on the Senate floor after 10 calendar days, but the Senate is leaving town on Friday for a week-long Memorial Day break. http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/334776-paul-plans-to-force-vote-on-110b-saudi-defense-deal-report
Way to go Rand - Let's see if he follows through. And, let's see if he's more successful this time around.
Actually I understand it is no longer necessary to cover oneself in black when seeing the Pope. But interesting that these non-Catholic women would wear old line Catholic garb when seeing the pope but decline to wear headscarves in Saudi Arabia? I guess right wing heads don't explode over Catholic garb.
