It's 100% that, but that's also not a great sign in terms of Carney putting up a fight against Trump, IMO.
I don't really want to see our civil liberties sacrificed in the service of economic priorities. The economy will eventually rebound. Once lost, civil liberties are often hard to reclaim, and this type of legislation is ripe for abuse.
Good point about the Senate though.
