Says at bottom of screen that Sgt at arms has been sent out to look for absent senators.
They must have a quorum of 51 to proceed because on of the bill's opponents would surely call for a quorum count as a procedural way to derail the vote.
The thing I am worried about is that Reid would not press a CLOTURE vote again unless he knew he had the votes.... unless....
He is playing a game of legislative Chicken!

Like a good serious for us? Like they were flailing?!?Quote:

(I didn't realize cloture failed twice today; heard this on Lou Dobbs; I had thought it just failed once, glad to hear it failed twice.)
I hope enough remain absent and also that they are staying away on purpose.
Duh
Didn't notice any sidearms, but it looked serious.
I'm not sure what's going on now. The screen is not saying.
Failed twice? I didn't know that either.Quote:
