I believe it passes now (5 of 9 voters). If so, I'd like to introduce another amendment.

Section Three shall be amended to read:

3. Sections 3204(a) and 3204(b) of H.R. 4425 (The 2001 Military Construction Appropriations Act) are hereby repealed.

No it doesn't pass, CheeseWhiz screwed it up with that case so an abstain is like voting Nay. -_-

We still need one more Aye for the other amendment to pass. We really need to fix that problem. -_-

Quite frankly, I don't have the time to figure out what that section is doing or what repealing it will do, so abstain.
