in the Senate that takes 60 votes to override? I hope that RW Scmuck I saw on a talk show was wrong.

2. The only thing that can hold it up is try adding an amendment to

everything the Democrats propose. The republicans, mainly Hatch, say they are going to do that and see how long before the Democrats give up. He says this is WAR and they will win. Gee why is it they are so war war war orientated. Little boys who are twirling their guns huh.

Well hell. What the Democrats should do is make the media show this on TV. Show how the republicans are now deliberately screwing up the Senate for political purposes Since the Democrats are too damn timid to make the republicans filibuster so it can be shown on TV, when they attempt this the Democrats will have to show what they are doing.

This is 'Murica, dammit. Good luck with that.

4. I don't know if this can be changed in the Rules Committee...

but that is probably true. It would still need 60 votes to shut off debate.
