36. Well, in that instance, and I quote:
"Congress was itself split with the Senate being controlled by Republicans and the House of Representatives by the Democrats. In an attempt to solve the problem both houses agreed to set up a special Electoral Commission of 15 senators, representatives and supreme court justices."

Congress ain't split this time. The Rethugs control both houses, and they're gonna force a vote after two hours.

But at least we'll get HEARD, if Boxer stands up! GO BOXER GO BOXER GO!
