As an outsider, I thought that in the US senate and congress it was normal for different people to come up with different versions of bills and then haggle over them until they get a bill that they can agree on. As opposed to “stepping on” Booker’s bill, might this not be seen as working alongside Booker’s bill?
I don’t know, maybe the idea that different people advancing similar ideas might one day find out a way to go forward together is fairy dust and unicorns right now.
