Will it or won't it pass? Stay tuned..

[GeronL]

Warren is the new leader of the far far left.

This is good news for conservatives. It will pass the new Senate immediately, but the Dems who voted against this will all pay (again) in 2016. Whoever is advising these turds is stupider than Gruber.

[Enterprise]

Excellent call!

[DugwayDuke]

“Forget the dog and pony show. Pass it the first day of the next Congress. When BHO vetoes, pass it again; poison pill it in every bill he wants to sign.”

Probably won’t pass then either since it requires 60 votes to pass. There will still be enough Democrats to stop it. Even if it is passed, Obama will veto it and then you’ll need 67 to override.

But, the GOP still needs to bring the bill up at least once a month just to embarrass the Democrats.

[PapaBear3625]

OK. In January it will be a different Senate. We will see what happens then.

[GRRRRR]

College kids doing the Fauxcahontas chant, then they break into a sports team chant.

Why wouldn’t the Pubbies wait and try to pass this in January?

Perhaps they will, but in the meantime the Dems still control the Senate and they wanted a vote now to try and help Mary Landrieu.

[thackney]

They should, and demonstrate what a difference the election actual made.

well, I've still got my pudding

[cripplecreek]

It will pass in January.

If I were majority leader, it would be the very first vote.

[CPT Clay]

We will see it again next year. Any chance of finding 13 dem senators to over ride?

[Enterprise]

Yes, the proverbial fork was just stuck.

[txhurl]

Funny! Even fauxcahontas was stunned into silence. Unexpected, it was.

Lizzy Borden Warden is the new face on the war on coal (and oil). Up front, with her ugly face on this in preparation for her Presidential run.

[colorado tanker]

Your Senate buddies really, really don’t like you, Mary!

[JRandomFreeper]

It passed, just not with enough to over-ride a veto.

It did get over 50%.

The LIV’s think the new Republican-controlled Senate just shot down Keystone. They have no idea the Dems are still in charge until Jan.

[mware]

59-41.

Do they really think we are that stupid.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Next up, amnesty followed by the budget.
