    Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.

    So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

    I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

      So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?

        Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

      And how does anyone vote for something that’s 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that’s not this.

      States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it’s wrong to allow something in one state, it’d be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn’t. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.

    This is not good news, because it was up to debate.

    Efit: well, ok, it was Ted Cruz after all.
