Rep. George Latimer opposed the NDAA due to partisan amendments and proposed military deployment limitations.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Representative George Latimer (NY-16) voted against the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), citing the inclusion of partisan amendments. He proposed two amendments aimed at preventing military deployment in New York without a Governor's request and avoiding the use of military forces during elections, which were not brought to a vote.
Rep. Latimer expressed frustration over the partisan nature of the bill, stating, “I am frustrated that the Republican Majority turned a typically bipartisan process into a partisan exercise.” He highlighted his support for certain aspects of the bill, like pay increases for servicemembers, but condemned the "poison pill" amendments as unacceptable.
The bill will proceed to the Senate, where it is anticipated to face challenges in passing in its current form. Latimer emphasized that military forces should focus on their primary role abroad rather than being utilized for domestic policing, arguing it's a misuse of the military and taxpayer funds.
