They're counting the votes now. The usual suspects - Reid, Durban etc have voted yes of course. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and others have voted no.

 

I really doubt they'll have 60 votes.

It is just a vote to bring it to the floor for debate in the Senate

Correct. I'm not sure if they could still do the talking kind of filibuster though.

68 in favor, 31 against. And yes, this is just cloture.

It's not a done deal yet. They are going to hear and debate amendments. It also has to pass the house where I think it will be shot down.

 

Reid is talking about the amemdments. I hate this lying, deceiving POS. Eff him.

Thanks for the updates. Hopefully the idiots realize how unpopular everything they are trying to pass is, despite what Obama and the media are claiming.

I heard this in my car on my way home from work, and I nearly tore my steering wheel out of the column. Would our Founding Fathers be up in arms by now, or sitting on their asses? Rhetorical question... Disappointment is heavy in my heart, disappointment in America, our Representatives, the inaction of the People and, mostly, with myself. The realization that things will only continue to get worse, restricting our all ready receding Rights, is killing me.
