Bail is only supposed to make sure a defendant will appear in court; it’s not meant to be a pre-punishment for a slam dunk case.

Representative Greene apparently thinks that the House of Representatives is a parliament. She’s trying to blame Democrats for joining on a Republican led bill that doesn’t have the funding that she wants “to secure the southern border”. I’m sure that she’s free to write such a funding bill but...
