There may be some hope for the liability bill (clean version). The House could pass it, and then tack it onto some omnibus package later in the year and let the Dems try to strip it out of the Senate version.

It ain't over till it's over.

It ain't over till it's over

It's over for this year. The Senate RINO gang showed where they stand on the issue today when they voted to kill it by voting for the AWB amendment. Some of those might have gone for protecting the industry without the added amendments but they would never agree to let the AWB sunset, and some like Chafee and Smith would be in trouble in their liberal states if they did.
