With 59 in favor in this current Senate, I think if the next Senate takes this same vote up again next year, we might have enough votes to override a veto.
Interesting to see new Dem “superstar” Fauxcahontas announcing the vote tabulation....
So where does this leave Mary Landrieu? The whole point of this was to prove to low information voters in Louisiana that she was in favor of the pipeline to help Louisiana’s energy industry. And that she had clout to make it happen, etc. as we lead up to the Dec. 6th runoff. So where does this leave her? She clearly has no such clout, and if she wins the runoff she will be in the Democrat minority anyway. What does this show voters as to why they should re-elect her???
there’s that compromise and working together the democrats have been demanding we have to have with them. /s
They let their Kenyan Child of the Eurf off the hook. The boy doesn’t have to veto it. IN YOUR FACE AMERICA! - Barry the Kenyan.
I guess Mary officially has a new career as a Washington lobbyist...
The vote was also a reflection of how a once-obscure pipeline blew up into an expensive national political battle between environmentalists and the oil industry.
More Gruberisms, this is a battle between Marxists and the oil industry.
Pray America is waking
The senate Obamabots give Mary Landrieu a good rogering to save Obama the embarrassment of vetoing the Keystone bill.
This isn’t horseshoes. Only tells us that after the new Senate is in...chances are much better.
I wonder if the outcome of Senate votes like this one would have been different if state lawmakers hadn’t given up their voices in Congress by foolishly ratifying the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
Bring it BACK AGAIN!
It will pass
TT
This was all about protecting Obama from having to make a veto.
sick obstructionists
Shades of ANWAR. I do not know how with both chambers and a GOP president we were never able to make it work out, like it was a conspiracy to keep Saudi oil high.
almost as if it were scripted by Harry Reid
Assuming all 54 Republicans vote yes, I count only 9 Democrats to vote yes who will be there next session. And some of them might hesitate over-riding a veto. So, it looks like 63 votes at most for an over-ride.
The _environmental_ groups, who’s owners are SaudiArabia/OPEC. DC represents non-USAians.
This is just another example of the two critical ways we need to look at anything liberals are involved in:
1. Cui Bono or who benefits ,when bs surrounds and covers up or shrouds their overt or covert actions with any activity with libs in control of where money and power can be gained.
2. Follow the money after #1.
The answer to who benefits when the Keystone pipeline is killed/stalled is simple.
Warren Buffets owns/controls most of the railroad old tank cars and railroads which bring the oil from Canada to US refineries.
How many of the Rat $inators get a lot of money now and in IOUs from Buffet to keep Keystone dead?

Warren Buffett’s Massive Railroad Lobby

What do train whistles and Warren Buffett have in common?
If you answered old-fashioned charm, you’re wrong.
The Sightline Institute, a Seattle-based think tank, calls the avuncular billionaire “the man behind the exploding trains.”
Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Union Tank Car Company, North America’s largest leaser of tank cars. Berkshire also owns BNSF Railway Company, which moves many of those cars.
Again the rat’s MSM has hidden this important fact from us.
