It is highly doubtful it will pass.

To get it done before their recess will be almost impossible. I've heard they want a full reading on this and the omnibus bill.

Also they need 2/3 of entire senate to approve, regardless of this year or next. I see it as unlikely.

Well there are plenty in Congress and one in the White house, you don't have to go far to find one.

Oh Joe, where are you when we need you.

But Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is causing a delay by forcing both measures to be read aloud, which could eat up hours of the remaining lame-duck Congress.

They say this like reading the bill is a bad thing.

First instituted when all copies had to be made by hand and some may not have been able to get a copy, this is often seen as a delaying tactic, since they are presumably available electronically.

But put a 2k page bill out 3 days before a vote. :screwy:

:righton: We do need an old Joe McCarthy type. Socialist and Marxist, even a few devout Communist are in our government's highest offices right now, and they are doing their best to destroy the Republic and our used-to-be Free Market Economy.
