And the refinery and its employees will spend lots of money in the local communities, on groceries, housing, hardware, vehicles and services, bringing unprecedented economic activity to that area.
To all that post the premise that the Repubs are the same as the Dems, I suggest you read the yeas and nays along with their party affiliation and try and smile the next time you state that.
U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 113th Congress - 2nd Session
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=2&vote=00280
Measure Title: A bill to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline.

I understand, but I think we’re starting to see a trend. It began in 2010 and while voters gave Zero a second chance (some of it racial guilt, some of it a genuine feeling that stuff could be fixed), I don’t think they’ll be as forgiving this time. But we’ll see.
Actually, a successful cloture (60%) is not needed, if unanimous consent w/o objection is given. No one goes on record for that. Further, a successful cloture vote is a vote to stop debate, forcing an immediate vote. Sometimes, a member votes for cloture and then votes against the measure. Soooo, technically, it only takes 50% + 1 of Senators present to pass a measure its first time. If the measure suffers a presidential veto, it must survive the second time with, at least, a 66.67% majority of members present on both sides of Congress, lest it fail.
Provide one or more Senators do not decide to Filibuster.
I think that is fantasy on this hot-button topic.
Read my first sentence. You just repeated what I’ve already written. If one or more members object to a call for vote, unanimous consent fails and a vote to call for the question (cloture) may be invoked or not. Debate can continue indefinitely or not. HOWEVER, any movement to deny any Senator’s right to speak on a given measure requires either unanimous consent or a successful call for the question (cloture).
Ok
Actually, a successful cloture (60%) is not needed, if unanimous consent w/o objection is given.
I put in bold the portion I think that is a fantasy. I think anything past that point is meaningless.
Do you really believe that not a single democrat senator would not object? Harry Reid for one example?
I agree that in this instance, unanimous consent is unlikely. My original post was a response to another poster’s questions re: some Senate requirements in general, not for this case, for passage of measures or for stopping debate. I appreciate your input.

Have you seen miss mary piggy, crawling in the dirt, and for kissing up to Bammy her life is getting worse, clutching for her seat, to save her bacon.
Her lover Dems did her dirty-— left her hanging by one vote just to protect their holy Bam from having to use his veto.
Bye bye mary— next time don’t prostitute yourself out to the dirty Dems for cheap thrills love.
Mary is a democrat. The rest but a few are pretty much left of Mary now,not so called democrats but liberal fascist psychopomps like their Great Leader. America is gonna catch up to each one of these leftists....soon.
Mary has been bent over in public by the left and given it right up there.She is either history or she will be elected as a new republican.
As a conservative I do not support the right of any foreign corporation, or crony of any USA politicians to force our American citizens to give up their property rights for a token right of way fee, just so they can profit.
Nor do I support the right of these same foreign corporations to use our country as a right of way to send their oil to Europe or China. But that’s just me and what I strongly believe.
I do not and will never sign on to the official menu of the Republican corporate establishment Party. I maintain the right to my own opinion and beliefs.
With some significant changes such as rewarding landowners with significant ongoing usage fees (instead of one cheap right of way fee) and limits on export of this oil I could support it.
Gee, no shock here.

I can only hope the lasting legacy of Tim Johnson of SD will be his yes vote on Obama Care and his no vote on Keystone XL.
My momma would not approve of my denigrating the handicapped so remaining comments self censored.
This too shall pass.
That would be Warren Buffet's railroad. Gee, no crony capitalism going on here between Obama and Buffet now is there?!
