MSNBC BREAKING SENATE PULLS BILL AS SUPPORT FALTERS * [View all]

We rolled them.

*No vote this week. This version of the bill has been pulled. The only thing delay will do is give the opposition time to coalesce. Of course they can reintroduce a bill. They can reintoduce it to infinity. Great article on why :
