36. The registry can be re-opened.
Tue Dec 2, 2014, 12:03 PM
Dec 2014

It was closed with a voice vote, it can be re-opened with one.

Now, one might imagine that the GOP might do that, now that they have control of everything, but no. They won't. They never give up a wedge issue. Ever.

Just like they won't repeal the ACA. That would remove a boogey-man from their arsenal.

Why should they? n/t oneshooter Dec 2014 #1
