| 134. No chance of a filibuster |
|
Folks, there is no opportunity for a filibuster. 3rd reading and a final vote were already agreed to in the unanimous-consent agreement yesterday in which the Democrats got their amendments on the floor for consideration. Did they even have 40 votes to block this? I doubt it.
I'm as liberal as anyone, but going off and forming a separate Liberal Party makes absolutely no sense. Then, the Republicans would get 58% of the vote while the Democrats got 27% and the Liberals 15%. Talk about handing over absolute power!
