Is there still hope for the 9/11 responders bill?

[Nancy Waterman]

Or is Tom Coburn still blocking it? I haven't heard anything in the last several hours.
Any updates?

1. I thought they were going to pass it. At least that's what Cenk said.

2. Coburn had a hold on it

for some ridiculous and untrue reason. He complained they never held a hearing
when, in fact, they did hold one, he just didn't show up for it.

4. Thanks for that link, craigmatic

I agree with him that Jon Stewart will have saved that bill if it passes. That was a brilliant show
last week.

I had thought Coburn put a hold on the legislation. Is it just a filibuster? that seems more likely to be broken
with all the bad publicity.
