I read this is the 1st of 3 votes in the Senate... what is each one for? 1 cloture, 1 for passage. What's this one?

13. There will be at least 4 votes. |
|
Cloture on the manager's amendment. 60 votes needed (tonight)
Cloture on the bill. 60 votes needed - Christmas Eve?
Approval of the bill (sends to conference) 50 votes needed - Christmas Eve?
End Filibuster on adoption of the joint bill from conference - 60 votes
(and maybe one more) Approval of the bill - 50 votes needed

10. I'm watching Mitch McConnell blather and lie on CSPAN. Is that Hatch behind him? |
|
They all look pretty tired, but that doesn't stop them for a moment in their torrent of lies. :grr:
