41. hey, scooter, watch this trick
I WAS WRONG.

I did exactly as you requested and looked up the joint resolution. Sure enough, you're right and I'm wrong. This is not the resolution that came to the floor for a vote, and that's what I was getting at, but you already knew this. And yes, it feels bad to be wrong about this when it came to such a public head; it burns a little bit, and I hope you can find some joy in that.

The fact remains that the GOP pulled a stunt and brought an entirely different resolution to the floor for a vote.

The fact also remains that you wish to surrender to Republicans because you fancy yourself a chess player and believe that you can gain some advantage by bending over for them and hoping to recoup your losses after the last of your dignity has been taken from you. I suppose I'm just a little too simple for that and I'd prefer to destroy them in straighforward fashion.

But again, it's important for me to admit it when I find out I'm dead wrong on an assertion, and in this instance, I was. Savor the moment, pragmatist.
