Harry reid said a sustitue bill 1150????
The Senate should have some sort of system (like America's Funniest Videos) where senators key in their vote at the same time with results available instantly.
The roll call stuff is getting pretty old.
Are they actually voting now? Can't see or hear this too well on my computer.

I think we just need 41. Reid needed 60; there are 100 senators, so I think 41 is all that is needed.Quote:

41 Nay votes and we win. Sounds like it went into the trash heap where it belongs!! Time to go party like Ted Kennedy!!
