3. I'm not holding my breath |
|
I still believe that nothing can pass The House, but I hope I am wrong.

5. If the Senate passes a clean bill first, then Pelosi can convince a few Repukes |
|
That for the good of the country they need to come along.

6. If that was doable they would have done it by now |
|
Sadly I do not see any bill passing the houses at the moment.

7. Then the pressure's on O to step up and go 14th |
|
Then argue the legalities later

8. I don't think you can get 60 votes in the Senate for a clean bill. Do you? |
|
And then, without the Speaker's OK, I think it is a multi day process to force a bill to the house floor for a vote, even if Pelosi can get a bipartisan majority to support it.
The scary part is that it looks like the splintering of the R's may put us in a worse position at least as to getting something done before Aug. 2.

4. Boehner looks like such a fool! |
|
I'm surprised he has as many votes as he has.
