Off by being forced to rent a device. That is a commonly held bipartisan principle. And i wasnt without some objections over the months and years. But now were very, very close to getting across the finish line. My concern, both on process and on policy, is that the thing that i thought i was trying to and advocating for may be accomplished in the next 15 days. But hrts of other things which i think deserve more scrutiny and oversight and discussion may also be accomplished.
