New issue of SGN arrived today and I read Neal Knox's column on the AWB. He mentioned that DiFei will probably try to attach a continuation amendment on to a Justice appropriations bill or some other must-pass bill that they will receive and that the Senate will likely approve it and send it back to the House.
He then said it would be very difficult, but not impossible, for the House to remove it from the bill. I guess the political maneuvering would change it from a passive sun-set to an actual vote against the AWB and the democrats are thinking that the republicans might not have the courage to make that vote. In some cases they are probably right.
I used to be very confident that the ban would sun-set. I am still somewhat confident.
I am contemplating calling my congressman and telling him to pass along the info that I will not only NOT cast my vote for Bush in 2004 if he signs another AWB, but will actually vote FOR his opponent- regardless of who it is.
Lots of republicans are taking our votes for granted. It is high time they stop.
I have some high-end preban Colts and I would hate to see them lose their value. On the other hand, that seems to be a small price to pay.
