This could be good. If the Republicans are forced to vote on this then it will demonstrate that they are all full of bs and are just letting Tuberville take the heat for what they all support.
It’s less about changing votes and more about exposing them for what they are and forcing some measure of intellectual honesty.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise.
