72. Whoa Whoa WHOA! It is an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill
Bush threatened to veto the bill and there may not be enoguh votes for a n overide. It would force Dems in opposition to the spending to vote for the override.

Actually it may be more important to pass the torture piece.

The bill also pays for new nukes I believe....bunker busters.

So there is some opposition....anyone have more info on the bill?
