NEW C SPAN SENATE REPORTING THREAD 12-13

[Justthefacts]

Keep in mind , if it passes cloture , then it is up for debate , this can go on for days

This treaty needs 67 votes to ratify

There is no way the repubs allow this and they will try to burn the clock
with this bill

There is very little Harry can do to stop them , He brought the bill to the floor

Keep in mind also , the govt runs out of money Friday ,

Is Scary Harry doing this on purpose?

Is Scary Harry doing this on purpose?

He is living in some twilight zone or something

I know how these guys work, no way they pass 2 major pieces of biz in a couple days , no way

Besides , the repubs don't like this start treaty , they are seeking to debate and offer hundreds of amends , Of course if it is amended it has to go back to negotiations with the Russians

[Justthefacts]

The action is in the House

They are actually voting to adjourn , which will be voted down

They are working on the tax package over there

The senate continues and will continue to work on Start

[Justthefacts]

The house axed the tax bill for now

They would not agree to the rules to advance debate

[APACHEWHOKNOWS]

The love they had for "deemed" when they "deemed" Obama care passed, is not so much love now that the Democrat leaders are using "deemed" on the liberal wing of the Democrats.

payback

[Justthefacts]

Still working on Start

Nothing going on in the house
It is rumored that Piglosi is involved in talks to try to
unstall the tax package

[Justthefacts]

I've listened to debate all day on the Start treaty

Now the thing is most of the repubs have opposed it on the basis that there is no time to properly debate it and amend it ,

Ok , they wasted the whole day on this and its going nowhere , this will take 67 votes to ratify , No way they get that

Why are they even bothering

[stevetheroofer]

"TO RUN THE CLOCK OUT MAYBE?"

[alisab]

Can harry even bring the amnesty up with all this other stuff taking so much time??
