[spanone]

1. the party of less than nothing.....they are shameless in their defense of big business

[tridim]

2. What happens now?

Assuming this bill is far from dead.

4. Dems have a good time identifying RE[b]THUGS[/b]

as defenders of Wall Street.
Ed is tearing them a new one. I have both CSpan 2 and Ed going. Bernie Sanders in Ed now. He's devouring them.

8. Bernie made me feel better about it.

It will happen, and lots of strong ammendements are coming.

7. No debate can occur. It's stopped for now, at least until after the election and if it

comes up then, it will be a watered down bill with deference to the republicans.

[tridim]

9. That's not what is going to happen according to Sanders.

Said some repukes will come on board in a few days.

3. What? Who?

I'm at work and can't follow anything closely.

5. Two Senators could not vote today

Who are they?

[SoCalDem]

12. Byrd could be one of them.. he's very frail & may not have attended?

[WeDidIt]

6. 40 Rethugs and one traitor Dem vote AGAINST reforming the system that got us in this mess

Motherfuckers.

Nelson deserves to lose his committee chairmanship over this.

13. Thanks...that was worth hearing.

14. Nelson voted No, and Reid probably voted No for procedural reasons

I'm not sure exactly what the rules are, but I remember that Frist had to vote against his own bill when it wouldn't pass cloture, and it was so it could be brought up again.
