If he did this, he thinks he has the votes.

Not wasting any time are they? They’re too busy to slow down and hear their constituents. We’ll have to remember that at every election for the next 6 years, till they’re all voted out.

How is this possible? Is there verification?

None of the amendments have been even brought up?

We all knew this was coming. We, the American voters, are of little consequence to them.

It is nearly 9pm there. What kind of sneaky move is this?

No wonder Congress approval ratings are at an all time low.

He shares a 14% popularity rating with the rest of Congress. Doesn’t matter if he has the votes. He’s just going through the motions.

Is he initiating the vote on cloture now or is Senator Reid just filing a petition for cloture?

Cloture vote requires sixteen senators sign and a layover before the vote occurs...... Maybe there is another way to reach the vote, but I’m not aware of it.

“filing a petition”
Ahhhhh. Vote to be later. Still a bad sign.
