Kevin Martin (so far) has refused to delay a vote on the issue in spite of public outrage. They must be in a hurry to get this done.

A silly non-issue, the dems know it, but they use it to rile up the gene-missing demodupes so they'll run out and vote for hillary. There are a thousand info channels nowadays, and newspapers are downsizing and closing anyway all over the country.
