Terrible in that it means they have the needed total, but good in that it could mean someone changes their mind to avoid receiving unprecedented waves of hatred from across the country for being the one that pushes it through...

Good grief! WTH is she talkin about? Number 216 WILL BE the deciding vote, no matter how many come after that.

Imbecile.
