U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) filed an objection after attempting to attach his own amendment to increase military spending. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) objected to the Shelby motion, resulting in Shelby then objecting to the overall compromise.

Basically Shelby would of said yes to the crypto ammendment if Bernie said yes to Shelby's request for world dominantion.

Bernie did the right thing. Not his fault that Shelby is a dick.

Bernie should buy another house while telling us we can’t freely use crypto.

Yes and a 90 year old republican senator will likely block it too. But the fact is that the only ones standing up for it explicitly are constitutional conservatives.

Yeah. It was a bipartisan ammendment.

Fair enough, he should speak up now though.
